2 Samuel 6:18 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Samuel 6:18

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.

22 And I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight. But as for the maidservants of whom you have spoken, by them I will be held in honor.”
