In the book of 2 Samuel, chapter 6, we once again see the fabled Ark of the Covenent (cue Indiana Jones).
There is a strange passage in verse 6-7, where a man named Uzzah grabbed the Ark as one of the oxen pulling it stumbled. In the passage, the Lord became angry at the man and killed him.
David was puzzled by this, and was afraid of what the Lord could do to anyone. Even him.
So, as he brought the Box into a city, he danced so crazily that he didn't care what anyone thought of him. Saul's daughter, Michal, saw him and was disgusted by his showy display. When she confronted him, he said he was dancing for the Lord, not her.
Needless to say, she remained childless, all the rest of her days.
