13And so it was, that when those carrying the ark of the Lord marched six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened steer.
14And David was dancing before the Lord with all his strength, and David was wearing a linen ephod.
15So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with joyful shouting and the sound of the trumpet.
17Now they brought in the ark of the Lord and set it in its place inside the tent which David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.
18When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of armies.
