15: So DavidH1732 and allH3605 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 brought upH5927 -H0853 the arkH0727 of YahwehH3068 with shouting,H8643 and with the soundH6963 of the trumpet.H7782

18: And when had finishedH3615 DavidH1732 offeringH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and peace offerings,H8002 and he blessedH1288 -H0853 the peopleH5971 in the nameH8034 of YahwehH3068 of hosts.H6635

19: And he distributedH2505 among allH3605 the people,H5971 among wholeH3605 the multitudeH1995 of Israel,H3478 from the men,H0376 and toH5704 the womenH0802 to everyoneH0376 loafH2471 of bread,H3899 oneH0259 and piece [of meat]H0829 oneH0259 and cake of raisinsH0809 oneH0259 so departedH1980 allH3605 the peopleH5971 everyoneH0376 to his house.H1004

20: And returnedH7725 DavidH1732 to blessH1288 -H0853 his household.H1004 And came outH3318 MichalH4324 the daughterH1323 of SaulH7586 to meetH7125 David,H1732 and said,H0559 howH4100 glorious wasH3513 today,H3117 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 whoH0834 uncovering himselfH1540 todayH3117 in the eyesH5869 of the maidsH0519 of his servants,H5650 as uncovers himselfH1540 shamelesslyH1540 oneH0259 of the base fellows.H7386

21: So saidH0559 DavidH1732 toH0413 Michal,H4324 [it was] beforeH6440 Yahweh,H3068 whoH0834 choseH0977 instead of your father,H0001 and allH3605 his house,H1004 to appointH6680 meH0853 rulerH5057 overH5921 the peopleH5971 of Yahweh,H3068 overH5921 Israel-H3478 therefore I will play [music]H7832 beforeH6440 Yahweh.H3068

22: And I will be more undignifiedH7043 evenH5750 than this,H2063 and will beH1961 humbleH8217 in my own sight,H5869 but as forH5973 the maidservantsH0519 of whomH0834 you have spokenH0559 by themH5973 I will be held in honor.H3513

23: Therefore MichalH4324 the daughterH1323 of SaulH7586 noH3808 hadH1961 childrenH3206 toH5704 the dayH3117 of her death.H4194
