all Israel brought up the ark

on 1 Chronicles 15:28-29

Saul’s daughter Michal looked down from a window and saw King David dancing and celebrating, and she despised him in her heart. Chronicles keeps this line and drops her exchange with David from 2 Samuel 6, in a book that omits David's sin with Bathsheba.

proposed

That we serve a good master, who delights to have his servants sing at their work. That times of public reformation are, and should be, times of public rejoicing. Those are unworthy of the ark that are not glad of it.
