12 Now it was told King David, saying, “The Lord has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” aSo David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with gladness.  
13 And so it was, when athose bearing the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, that he sacrificed boxen and fatted sheep.  
14 Then David adanced before the Lord with all his might; and David was wearing ba linen ephod.  
15 aSo David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet.  
16 Now as the ark of the Lord came into the City of David, aMichal, Saul’s daughter, looked through a window and saw King David leaping and whirling before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.  
17 So athey brought the ark of the Lord, and set it in bits place in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it. Then David coffered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.  
18 And when David had finished offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, ahe blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.  
19 aThen he distributed among all the people, among the whole multitude of Israel, both the women and the men, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins. So all the people departed, everyone to his house.  
20 aThen 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, buncovering himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants, as one of the cbase fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!”  
21 So David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, awho chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the bpeople of the Lord, over Israel. Therefore I will play music before the Lord.

2 Samuel 6:14

And David danced before the Lord - Dancing is a religious ceremony among the Hindoos, and they consider it an act of devotion to their idols. It is evident that David considered it in the same light. What connection dancing can have with devotion I cannot tell. This I know, that unpremeditated and involuntary skipping may be the effect of sudden mental elation.
