14 Y David saltaba con toda su fuerza delante de Jehová; y tenía vestido David un ephod de lino.

15 Así David y toda la casa de Israel llevaban el arca de Jehová con júbilo y sonido de trompeta.

16 Y como el arca de Jehová llegó á la ciudad de David, aconteció que Michâl hija de Saúl miró desde una ventana, y vió al rey David que saltaba con toda su fuerza delante de Jehová: y menosprecióle en su corazón.

17 Metieron pues el arca de Jehová, y pusiéronla en su lugar en medio de una tienda que David le había tendido: y sacrificó David holocaustos y pacíficos delante de Jehová.

18 Y como David hubo acabado de ofrecer los holocaustos y pacíficos, bendijo al pueblo en el nombre de Jehová de los ejércitos.
