        blessed(barak=to declare blessed) the house of Obededom, and

        all that pertaineth(hayah=to be) unto him, because of the ark of

        God(aron=chest).  So David went and brought up the ark of

        God(aron=chest) from the house of Obededom into the city of

       David with gladness(simchah=rejoicing, joy). And it was so, that

       when they that bare(nasa=to lift up, bear away) the ark of the

       Lord(aron=chest) had gone six paces, he sacrifice oxen(zabach=

       to slaughter) and fatlings(meri=firm, fattened).  And David

       danced(karar=move around) before the Lord with all his

       might(oz=strength, vigor); and David was girded(chagar=to

       gird) with a linen(bad=fine linen) ephod(ephod=a priestly

       garment).  So David and all the house of Israel brought

       up(alah=to cause to go up) the ark of the Lord(aron=chest) with

       shouting(teruah=shout),  and with the sound(qol=voice) of the

       trumpet(shophar=trumpet).”

2.   II Samuel 6:17-19, 21-22 “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 his house, to appoint me ruler over the

people of the Lord, over Israel: there will I play(sachaq=to laugh,

play) before the Lord.  And I will yet be more vile(qalal=to

become light, lightly esteem)than thus, and will be base(shaphal=

humble) in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou

hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honor.  And they brought

the ark(aron=chest) of the Lord, and set it in his place(maqom=a

place of standing), in the midst(chatsah=to halve, come to the

middle) of the tabernacle(ohel=a tent) that David had pitched

(natah=to incline) for it: and David offered(alah=to cause to go

up) burnt offerings(olah=that which goes up) and peace offerings

(shelem=peace offering) before the Lord.  And as soon as David

had made an end of the offering burnt offerings and peace

offerings, he blessed the people(barak=to declare blessed) in the

name of the Lord of hosts.  And he dealtchalaq=to apportion)

among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel,

as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread

 (challah=a perforated cake). and a good piece of(eshpar=a good

gift, present) flesh(tibchah=slaughtered food), and a flagon

(ashishah=a cake of grapes) of wine(yayin=what is pressed out of

David returned to bless(barak=to declare blessed) his household.”

 

3.   I Chronicles 15:25-29 “So David, and the elders(zaqen=aged, bearded) of

Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the

ark(aron=chest) of the covenant(berith=league, covenant) of the

Lord out of the house of Obededom with joy(simchah=rejoicing,

gladness).  And it came to pass, when God helped(azar=to help)

the Levites(decendents of Levi) that bare(nasa=to lift up, bear

away) the ark (aron=chest)of the covenant(berith=league,

covenant) of the Lord, that they offered seven bullocks and seven

rams.  And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all

the Levites(decendents of Levi) that bare(nasa=to lift up, bear

away) the ark(aron=chest), and the singers(shir=to sing), and

Chenaniah the master(sar=head, chief) of the song(massa=what is

lifted up) with the singers(shir=to sing): David also had upon him

an ephod(epod=a priestly garment) of linen(bad=fine linen).

                    Thus all Israel brought up(alah=to cause to go up)the ark(aron=

chest) of the covenant(berith=league, covenant) of the Lord with

shouting(teruah=shout) and with the sound(qol=voice)of the

cornet(shophar=trumpet) and with trumpets (chatsotserah=

 a noise(shamea=to cause to hear) with psalteries(nebel=lyre, a

stringed instrument) and harps(kinnor=harp).  And it came to

pass, as the ark(aron=chest)of the covenant(berith=league,

covenant) of the Lord came to the city of David, that Michal the

daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing

(raqad=to skip) and playing(sachaq=to laugh, play): and she

despised him in her heart.”

 

4.   I Chronicles 16:1-3 “So they brought the ark(aron=chest)of God, and set it

in the midst(chatsah=to halve, come to the middle) of the tent

(obel=tent)that David had pitched(natah=to incline) for it: and

they offered burnt(olah=that which goes up) sacrifices(zabach=to

slaughter) and peace(shelem=peace)offerings(alah=to cause to go

up before God.  And when David had made an end of offering the

burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in

the name of the Lord.  And he dealt(asah=to do)to every one of

Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread(kikkar=

cake), and a good(tob=good),  piece(eshpar=a good gift, present)

of flesh(basar=flesh)and a flagon(ashishah=cake of grapes) of

wine(yayin=what is pressed out of grapes).  And he appointed

(nathan=to give) certain of the Levites(sons of Levi) to minister

(sharath=to serve) before the ark(aron=chest) of the Lord, and to

record(zakar=to cause to remember), and to thank(yadah=

the tabernacle of  David(sukkah=covering, booth) that is

fallen(naphal=to fall) and close up(gadar=to hedge or wall up) the

(qum=to cause to rise up) his ruins(harisah=a ruin), and I will

6.   Acts 15:15-16 “And to this agree(sumpheneo=to sound or speak together)

the words(logos=word) of the prophets(prophetes=those who

forth tell or foretell what God is saying); as it is written

(graphomai = to be written), after this I will return(anastrepho=
