And David, wearing a linen ephod,
David's choice of attire, a linen ephod, is significant. The ephod was a priestly garment, typically worn by those serving in the temple (1 Samuel 2:18). By wearing it, David demonstrates humility and a desire to worship God in a manner that transcends his royal status. This act symbolizes his role as a servant leader, aligning himself with the priestly function of worship. The linen material signifies purity and holiness, often associated with priestly duties (Exodus 28:6-8). David's actions foreshadow the priestly role of Jesus Christ, who is both King and Priest (Hebrews 7:17).

danced with all his might
David's dance is an expression of exuberant worship and joy. His uninhibited celebration reflects a heart fully devoted to God, emphasizing the importance of worship that engages the whole being. This act of dancing is a physical manifestation of spiritual joy, reminiscent ofPsalm 150:4, which encourages praising God with dance. David's wholehearted worship serves as a model for believers, illustrating that worship should be passionate and sincere. His dance also contrasts with the more reserved and formal worship practices of the time, highlighting the personal and intimate relationship he has with God.

before the LORD,
David's dance is directed towards the LORD, indicating that his actions are an act of worship and reverence. The phrase "before the LORD" underscores the presence of God as the central focus of the celebration. This moment occurs during the transportation of the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem, a significant event symbolizing God's presence among His people (2 Samuel 6:2-3). The Ark represents God's throne on earth, and David's dance before it signifies his acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and his submission to divine authority. This act of worship parallels the reverence shown by Jesus, who consistently sought to honor and glorify the Father (John 17:4).

1.David
The King of Israel, known for his deep devotion to God. In this passage, he is leading the procession of the Ark of the Covenant into Jerusalem.

2.Linen Ephod
A priestly garment, symbolizing humility and service. David wore this instead of his royal robes, indicating his submission to God.

3.The Ark of the Covenant
A sacred chest that held the tablets of the Ten Commandments, representing God's presence with His people.

4.Jerusalem
The city of David, where he established his capital and brought the Ark, signifying God's dwelling among His people.

5.The LORD
The covenant name of God, Yahweh, before whom David danced, showing his worship and reverence.Worship with Abandon
David's dance was an expression of wholehearted worship. We are called to worship God with all our might, holding nothing back.

Humility in Worship
By wearing a linen ephod, David set aside his kingly status. True worship requires humility and a focus on God's greatness rather than our own.

Joy in God's Presence
The return of the Ark symbolized God's presence. Our worship should be filled with joy because of the nearness of God.

Cultural Expressions of Worship
David's dance was culturally appropriate for his time. We should consider how our cultural expressions can honor God in worship today.

Leadership in Worship
As a leader, David set an example for the people. Leaders today should model sincere and passionate worship.Top 10 Lessons from 2 Samuel 6

2 Samuel 6:14 – How plausible is David’s public dancing without concern for royal decorum, given the cultural norms of ancient Near Eastern kings?

2 Samuel 6:20–23 – How does Michal's punishment for her criticism align with other biblical teachings on marriage and respect between spouses?

What does "holy roller" mean?

When did David bring the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem? Before defeating the Philistines or after? After (2 Samuel 5 and 6) Before (I Chronicles 13 and 14)(14)David danced.--The religious dances on occasions of great national blessing were usually performed by women only (Exodus 15:20-21;Judges 11:34;1Samuel 18:6). The king, by now taking part in them himself, marked his strong sense of the importance of the occasion, and his readiness to do his utmost in God's honour.

Girded with a linen ephod.--This is usually spoken of as if David were arrayed in a distinctively priestly dress; but it is remarkable that the ephod was not prescribed as a part of the priestly dress--the ephod of thehigh-priest(Exodus 25:7, &c.) being quite a different thing--and was worn by others, as Samuel (1Samuel 2:18). The wearing of the ephod, however, is spoken of in1Samuel 22:18 as characteristic of the priests, and inJudges 8:27;Judges 17:5;Judges 18:14-20, it is connected with idolatrous worship. It is also to be noted that the high priest's ephod (Exodus 28:6;Exodus 28:8, &c.) was made ofshesh,while the garments of the ordinary priests, as well as the ephods of Samuel and David, were ofbad.The explanation seems to be that the ephod ofbadwas simply a garment worn by any one engaged in a religious service, and it is used in1Samuel 22:18 to describe the priests, because such service constituted their ordinary life. It was not, therefore, a peculiarly priestly dress, though naturally more worn by them than by any one else. . . .

Verse 14. -And David danced. The word used means the springing round in half circles to the sound of music. Conder has given a very interesting account of the dancing of the Malawiyeh, which consisted in turning round in whole circles, resting on the heel of the left foot ('Herb and Moab,' p. 65, etc.). As David danced with all his might, he was evidently strongly excited with religious fervour. We have the expression of his feelings in the psalm composed for this occasion (1 Chronicles 16:7-36); subsequently it seems to have been rearranged for the temple service, as it is broken up intoPsalm 96. and Psalms 105:1-15. Dancing was usually the office of the women (Exodus 15:20;Judges 11:35;Judges 21:21;1 Samuel 18:6); but men may also have often taken part in it, as Michal's objection was that it was unbefitting a king.David was girded with a linen ephod. David wore this as a tightly fitting garment, which left him free to exert himself in the dance. So far from the use of it being an assumption of the priestly office, it was regarded by Michal as an act of humiliation, as it was a dress worn even by a child when admitted to service in a priest's family (1 Samuel 2:18). Probably David did mean to rank himself for the time among the inferior servitors of the ark. He might have claimed more. In the theocracy he was the representative of Jehovah, and his anointing was a solemn consecration to a religious office. To have burned incense or offered sacrifice would have been to invade the priestly office, an office parallel to "the administration of the Word and the sacraments," denied, in the Thirty-Seventh Article of the Church of England, to princes. To wear the garb of a servitor was to do honour both to Jehovah and to his priests.
