2 Samuel 6:20-23
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
20
But when David returned to bless his
own
household, Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, 'How the king of Israel dignified himself today! For he exposed himself today in the sight of his servants’ female slaves, as one of the rabble shamelessly exposes himself!'
21
But David said to Michal, '
I was
before the
Lord
, who preferred me to your father and to all his house, to appoint me as ruler over the people of the
Lord
, over Israel. So I will celebrate before the
Lord
!
22
And I might demean myself
even
more than this and be lowly in my own sight, but with the female slaves of whom you have spoken, with them I am to be held in honor!'
23
And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
King James Version
Chapter 6
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 Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!
21
And David said unto Michal, It was before the
Lord
, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the
Lord
, over Israel: therefore will I play before the
Lord
.
22
And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.
23
Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 6
20
When David returned home to bless his household, Saul’s daughter Michal came out to meet him. "How the king of Israel honored himself today!" she said. "He exposed himself today in the sight of the slave girls of his subjects like a vulgar person would expose himself."
21
David replied to Michal, "It was before the
Lord
who chose me over your father and his whole family to appoint me ruler over the
Lord
’s people Israel. I will dance before the
Lord
,
22
and I will dishonor myself and humble myself even more. However, by the slave girls you spoke about, I will be honored."
23
And Saul’s daughter Michal had no child to the day of her death.
New Living Translation
Chapter 6
20
When David returned home to bless his own family, Michal, the daughter of Saul, came out to meet him. She said in disgust, 'How distinguished the king of Israel looked today, shamelessly exposing himself to the servant girls like any vulgar person might do!'
21
David retorted to Michal, 'I was dancing before the
Lord
, who chose me above your father and all his family! He appointed me as the leader of Israel, the people of the
Lord
, so I celebrate before the
Lord
.
22
Yes, and I am willing to look even more foolish than this, even to be humiliated in my own eyes! But those servant girls you mentioned will indeed think I am distinguished!'
23
So Michal, the daughter of Saul, remained childless throughout her entire life.
English Standard Version
Chapter 6
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 honored himself today, uncovering himself today before the eyes of his servants ' female servants, as one of the vulgar fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!"
21
And David said to Michal, "It was before the
Lord
, 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 celebrate before the
Lord
.
22
I will make myself yet more contemptible than this, and I will be abased in your eyes. But by the female servants of whom you have spoken, by them I shall be held in honor."
23
And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
New International Version
Chapter 6
20
When David returned home to bless his household, Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet him and said, "How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, going around half-naked in full view of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!"
21
David said to Michal, "It was before the
Lord
, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed me ruler over the
Lord
’s people Israel—I will celebrate before the
Lord
.
22
I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor."
23
And Michal daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.
New King James Version
Chapter 6
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 Israel today, uncovering himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants, as one of the base fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!”

So David said to Michal, “
It was
before the
Lord
, who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the
Lord
, over Israel. Therefore I will play
music
before the
Lord
.
22
And I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight. But as for the maidservants of whom you have spoken, by them I will be held in honor.”
23
Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.
