David's dancing and clothing:
"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!" II Sam 6:20
But David let her know "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 the people of the Lord, over Israel: therefore will I play before the Lord.
22 And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour."
Was her barrenness the result of her judgement? The next verse is:
23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death."
(I dont encourage anyone to dress inappropriately).
from these verse references concerning David, we must remember a few things here:
1. David is a man AFTER God's own heart, so when the ARK was finally coming to Judah, David was overfilled with joy because this brought him even closer to God in a physical sense.
2. knowing where the ARK is coming from (captivity), David was rejoicing at God's hidden hand behind the scenes enabling the ARK to be returned back to the Hebrew peoples. this was a Great time to Bless and Worship God!!
3. the ARK = God, it's coming to be in David's Kingdom and possessions. David was worshipping God by recognizing the Ark and it's Spiritual and Priceless Value.
David was so hungry for God that when the news had arrived and he saw those transporting the ARK getting closer, he did not even think about other humans around him, he forgot they even existed, David truly was filled with the Holy Spirit and he got lost in GOD, like WE ALL SHOULD BE DOING!!
it's good to forget you have peeps around you because GOD is that IMPORTANT to YOU!!
this, in my opinion, is a case where David was so in tune with his belief, honor, love, devotion to YAHWEH, he just forgot about life, people, being a king, being a human, being whatever David represented at that time...he literally just forgot it all because he was so focused upon his GOD. he just began rejoicing and worshiping through Dance, Song, Praise.
and just like then, TODAY, we have those who won't recognize "someone lost in God via the Holy Spirit, but will be just like David's [wife], critical, condemning, destructive and ALL BECAUSE they cannot ever get to that "same point" in their own personal walk and Relationship with GOD!!
