2 Samuel 6:20-22

English Standard Version Anglicised

²⁰ And David returned to bless his household. But Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, “How the king of Israel honoured himself today, ^(A)uncovering himself today before the eyes of his servants' female servants, as one of the ^(B)vulgar fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!” ²¹ And David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, ^(C)who chose me above your father and above all his house, to appoint me as prince over Israel, the people of the Lord—and I will make merry before the Lord. ²² I will make myself yet more contemptible than this, and I will be abased in your^[a] eyes. But by the female servants of whom you have spoken, by them I shall be held in honour.”
