2 SAMUEL 6:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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!”
When David returned home to bless his own house, Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet him, and said, 'How the king of Israel honored himself today, uncovering himself before the eyes of the maids of his servants, as any vulgar fellow might do!' — Michal confronts David publicly. Her accusation—that David shamed himself by dancing in a linen ephod (exposing his body)—attacks his dignity. Michal's language reveals her Saulide perspective: kingly dignity is maintained through restraint, not public abandonment.
