The Ark Brought to Jerusalem – 2 Samuel 6:12–15 & 1 Chronicles 15:1–28
- David is told that God has blessed Obed-edom's household because of the ark.
- David builds many buildings for himself in the City of David, including a special tent for the ark. He commands that only Levites are to touch the ark, and the ark is brought to Jerusalem. The people sacrifice seven bulls and seven rams, and David and those carrying the ark are dressed in robes of fine linen. The ark is brought to shouts of joy, blowing of ram's horns and trumpets, and the playing of music. David dances before the Lord.
David and Michael – 2 Samuel 6:16–19 & 1 Chronicles 15:29 & 1 Chronicles 6:1–6
- As the ark enters Jerusalem, Michal looks down from her window and sees David dancing, and she despises him in her heart.
The Ark Placed in a Tent
- The ark is placed in the special tent David built for it, and they present burnt offerings and peace offerings. David blesses all the people, giving them a loaf of bread, a cake of dates, and a cake of raisins. He appoints the Levites to lead the people in praising God.
David's Song of Thanks – 1 Chronicles 16:7–36
- David sings a song of praise to the Lord for a successful transfer of the ark to Jerusalem.
Worship Before the Ark – 1 Chronicles 16:37–42, 1 Chronicles 16:43, and 2 Samuel 19–23
- David arranges for Asaph and his fellow Levites (including Obed-edom) to minister before the ark each day. They sacrifice burnt offerings to the Lord each morning and evening, obeying all that God had written.
- David then returns home and blesses his household. Michal comes out to him and shames him for dancing uncovered (he wore only a linen ephod) before the eyes of his female servants. David retorts that he was dancing before God. Michal has no child to the day of her death.
