2 Samuel 6:16-23

[16] And as the ark  of the LORD  came  into the city  of David,  Michal  Saul's  daughter  looked  through a window,  and saw  king  David  leaping  and dancing  before  the LORD;  and she despised  him in her heart.  [17] And they brought  in the ark  of the LORD,  and set  it in his place,  in the midst  of the tabernacle  that David  had pitched  for it: and David  offered  burnt offerings  and peace offerings  before  the LORD.  [18] And as soon as David  had made an end  of offering  burnt offerings  and peace offerings,  he blessed  the people  in the name  of the LORD  of hosts.  [19] And he dealt  among all the people,  even among the whole multitude  of Israel,  as well to the women  as men,  cake  of bread,  and a good piece  of flesh, and a flagon  of wine. So all the people  every one  to his house.  [20] Then David  returned  to bless  his household.  And Michal  the daughter  of Saul  came out  to meet  David,  and said,  How glorious  was the king  of Israel  to day,  who uncovered  himself to day  in the eyes  of the handmaids  of his servants,  as one  of the vain fellows  shamelessly  [21] And David  said  unto Michal,  It was before  the LORD,  which chose  me before thy father,  and before all his house,  to appoint  me ruler  over the people  of the LORD,  over Israel:  therefore will I play  before  the LORD.  [22] And I will yet be more vile  than thus,  and will be base  in mine own sight:  and of the maidservants  which thou hast spoken  of, of them shall I be had in honour.  [23] Therefore Michal  the daughter  of Saul  unto the day  of her death.
