Read 2 Samuel 6 here (text coming …) or at Bible Gateway.
The Hebrew paragraphs:
6:1-20a {s} David brought the ark to Jerusalem with joy
6:20b-23 {p} Michal the daughter of Saul reproached David, and was childless until her death
The Strong Themes:
6:1-23 {s+p} David brought the ark to Jerusalem with joy, but Michal his wife reproached him for his expression of joy and remained childless
2 Samuel 6:1-23 Chiastic Structure:
David exalted YHVH in his worship, and humbled himself before Him, and in his own eyes; and as it turns out, in Michal’s eyes as well. But let’s not let the scorn of the world stop us from lifting Him up, higher and higher, and bowing ourselves down, lower and lower!
