2 Samuel 6:14-23 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

14. And David danced before the Lord with all his might, and David was girded with a linen ephod.

15. So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the shofar.

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 its place, in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it, and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.

18. And as soon as David had finished offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of the hosts.

19. And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, to the men as well to the women, to each one a cake of bread and a good piece of flesh and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed each 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 today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of the handmaids of his slaves as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!

21. Then David said unto Michal, It was before the Lord, who chose me over thy father and over all his house to appoint me prince over the people of the Lord, over Israel; therefore, I will dance before the Lord.

22. And I will yet be more vile than thus and will be base in my own sight and before the maidservants whom thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.

23. Therefore, Michal, the daughter of Saul, had no children unto the day of her death.
