SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:14

Y David saltaba con toda su fuerza delante del SEÑOR; y tenía vestido David un efod de lino.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 6:14

Verse 14. And
David danced before the Lord] Dancing is a religious ceremony among the Hindoos, and they consider it an act of devotion to their idols. It is evident that David considered it in the same light. What connection dancing can have with devotion I cannot tell. This I know, that unpremeditated and involuntary skipping may be the effect of sudden mental elation.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 14. And
David danced before the Lord with all [his] might , etc.] That is, before the ark of the Lord; not a set dance, or along with others; but he leaped and skipped as “car”, a lamb, does, and that for joy that the ark was like to be brought home to his house, without any token of the divine displeasure, as before; the Targum is, “he praised before the Lord with all his might;” exerted himself to the uttermost in singing the praises of God vocally, or by playing on an instrument; to which sense are the Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic versions, which is approved of by Castel f116 ; who observes, it nowhere appears to have been a custom to dance before the ark; but it might be now done, though not usual, and therefore was observed by Michal with contempt, ( 2 Samuel 6:16); a later writer shows that dancing is the proper sense of the word: and David [was] girded with a linen ephod ; which others, besides priests, sometimes wore, as Samuel did, and which David might choose to appear in, rather than in his royal robes, as being more agreeable to the service of God, and lighter for him both to walk and dance in on this occasion.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 12-19 - It became evident, that
happy was the man who had the ark near him Christ is indeed a Stone of stumbling, and a Rock of offence, to thos that are disobedient; but to those that believe, he is a Corner-stone elect, precious, 1Pe 2:6-8. Let us be religious. Is the ark a blessin to others' houses? We may have it, and the blessing of it, withou fetching it away from our neighbours. David, at first setting out offered sacrifices to God. We are likely to speed in our enterprises when we begin with God, and give diligence to seek peace with him. An we are so unworthy, and our services are so defiled, that all our jo in God must be connected with repentance and faith in the Redeemer' atoning blood. David attended with high expressions of joy. We ought to serve God with our whole body and soul, and with every endowment an power we possess. On this occasion David laid aside his royal robes and put on a plain linen dress. David prayed with and for the people and as a prophet, solemnly blessed them in the name of the Lord.
