2 Samuel 6:21 in Context — 2 Samuel 6
19 E repartiu a todo aquele povo, e a toda a multidão de Israel, tanto a homens como a mulheres, a cada um uma torta de pão, e um pedaço de carne, e um frasco de vinho. E foi-se todo aquele povo, cada um à sua casa.
20 Voltou logo Davi para abençoar sua casa: e saindo Mical a receber a Davi, disse: Quão honrado foi hoje o rei de Israel, desnudando-se hoje diante das criadas de seus servos, como se desnudasse um vulgar!
21 Então Davi respondeu a Mical: Diante do SENHOR, que me preferiu a teu pai e a toda sua casa, mandando-me que fosse príncipe sobre o povo do SENHOR, sobre Israel, dançarei diante do SENHOR.
22 E ainda me farei mais vil que esta vez, e serei baixo em meus próprios olhos; e diante das criadas que disseste, diante delas serei honrado.
23 E Mical filha de Saul nunca teve filhos até o dia de sua morte.
