The chapter narrates David's two attempts to bring the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem \u2014 the first ending disastrously when Uzzah is struck dead for touching the Ark to steady it, and the second succeeding after a three-month detour at Obed-edom's house, where the Ark's presence brings blessing. The climax centers on David dancing \"with all his might\" before the LORD in a linen ephod, prompting his wife Michal (Saul's daughter) to publicly mock him as undignified; David rebukes her by asserting that God chose him over her father's house, and the narrative closes with the note that Michal died childless. The distinctive value of this presentation is comparative: it allows readers to track textual variants across traditions, such as the LXX reading \"seventy thousand\" men (v. 1) versus the KJV/MT \"thirty thousand,\" or differences in the description of Uzzah's offense. This format serves scholars, translators, or serious students of the Hebrew Bible who want to examine how the three major textual witnesses diverge and align at the verse level.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: 2 Samuel: 2 Samuel 6","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":2236}
