AGAIN, David gathered_together 6 all the chosen men of Israél, thirty thousand. ;
2 And David arose, and went with all 1 the people that were with him from > Baale of Judah, to bring_up from thence -the_ark_of x=God, whose name |? is_called by the_name-_of J the Lorp of_| [, hosts 4that_dwelleth between the che- rubims,

DAYID's SACRIFICES AND GIFTS.
Il. Samvuet VI. 12.
12 And it was_told xking David, say- ing, “/7he Lorn shath_blessed -the_ house_of Obed-edom, and +all that per- taineth unto him, because_of the_ark_
.|of x=God.” So David went and brought_
up ~the_ark_of x=God from the_house_ of Obed-edom into the_city_of David with gladness.
13 And it was so, that when they_ that_bare the_ark_of /the Lorp had_ gone six paces, he sacrificed -oxen and -fatlings.
14 And David +danced before / the Lorp with all his might; and David was girded_with a linen ephod. -
15 So David and all the_house_of Israél +brought_up -the_ark_of ‘the Lorp with shouting, and with the_ sound_of the trumpet.
16 And as the_ark_of ‘the Lorp :came_ into the_city_of David, Michal Saul’s daughter looked through a@ «window, and saw *king David leaping and danc- ing before the Lorn; and she despised him in her heart.
7 And they brought in -the_ark_of Jthe Lorp, and set it in his place, in the_midst_of the t¢ tabernacle that Da-
“| vid had_s pitched for it: and David of-
fered «burnt _offerings and peace_ offerings before !the Lorb.
18 And as_soon_as David had_made_ an_end_of offering « «xburnt_offerings and xpeace_offerings, he blessed the people in the_name_of 4 the Lorp of-_ hosts.
19 And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude_of Israél, as well to the women as ‘men, to every_one 9a cake_of bread, and oa good piece of flesh, and oa cflagon of wine. So all the people departed every_ one to his “house.
20 Then 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 Israél to-day, who uncovered himself to-day in the_eyes_of the_handmaids_of his servants, as one_of the vain_fellows opshamelessly uncovereth_himself !”
21 And David said unto Michal, “ Jt was pbefore J the Lorp, Which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the_ people_of J te Lorp, over Israél : there- fore -will_I_play: before !the Lorp.
22 And I -will yet be_more vile than thus, and -will_be base in mine_own sight: and of the maidservants which thou shast_spoken of, of them shall_I_ be_had_in_honour.”
23 an Therefore Michal the_daughter_ of Saul had no child unto the_day_of her death.
AND it came_to_pass, when the king
sat in his house, and the Lorp
had_given_him_rest round_about from all his enemies ;
2 That the king said unto » Nathan the prophet, “See now, £ +dwell in a house_of =cedar, but the-ark_of ¢ x=God +dwelleth within xcurtains.”
8 And Nathan said to the king, “-Go,
-|*do all that is in thine heart; for J the
Lorp 7s with thee.”
