17They brought in Yahweh’s ark, and set it in its place, in the middle of the tent that David) had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Yahweh.

18When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh of Armies.

19He gave to all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to everyone a portion of bread, dates, and raisins. So all the people departed, each to his own house.

20Then David) returned to bless his household. Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, “How glorious the king of Israel was today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of his servants’ maids, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!”

21David said to Michal, “It was before Yahweh, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of Yahweh, over Israel. Therefore I will celebrate before Yahweh.

22I will be yet more vile than this, and will be worthless in my own sight. But the maids of whom you have spoken will honor me.”
