18. then he blessed the people in the name of the Lord All-Powerful.

19. He gave all the men and women in the crowd a small loaf of bread, some meat, and a handful of raisins, and everyone went home.

20. David went home so he could ask the Lord to bless his family. But Saul's daughter Michal went out and started yelling at him. “You were really great today!” she said. “You acted like a dirty old man, dancing around half-naked in front of your servants' slave-girls.”

21. David told her, “The Lord didn't choose your father or anyone else in your family to be the leader of his people. The Lord chose me, and I was celebrating in honour of him.

22. I'll show you just how great I can be! I'll even be disgusting to myself. But those slave-girls you talked about will still honour me!”

23. Michal never had any children.
