2 Samuel 6

If you read, I will be had in honour, it seems impossible to me to hear, I will be glorified. I think of glory as not synonymous with honour. Honour is more a consequence of glory. So I cannot render כבד as anything but related to glory (or in a different context, heavy or liver). Liver could never be honourable, surely. Perhaps I am too rigid!

There are a lot of minor discrepancies in this story compared with 1 Chronicles 13. E.g.

• The town name Baalah seems to be spelled differently. I expect it was the same town. 
• It is possible that the gamboling with the wood of the fir trees (not in 1 Chronicles 13) includes the idea that musical instruments were made from them, but perhaps it was also for those who can just bang sticks together. Or is this the trees of the forest shouting for joy? (1 Chronicles 16:33, also Psalm 96:12.)
• The threshing floor has an alternate name. 
• We are given a reason for the death, הַשַּׁ֑ל. Suggested as an abbreviation of a somewhat rarely used word שׁלה, ease, or serenity. What we might call easygoing. So my guess is ease of approach as the accident.

Same games with the name of Obed-Edom. I hope I am not too easygoing.

וַיִּרָ֥א דָוִ֛ד אֶת יְהוָ֖ה בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֑וּא וַיֹּ֕אמֶר אֵ֛יךְ יָב֥וֹא אֵלַ֖י אֲר֥וֹן יְהוָֽה	9		And David feared Yahweh in that day and said, How will the ark of Yahweh come to me?	3d	4B	12 12
וְלֹֽא אָבָ֣ה דָוִ֗ד לְהָסִ֥יר אֵלָ֛יו אֶת אֲר֥וֹן יְהוָ֖ה עַל עִ֣יר דָּוִ֑ד וַיַּטֵּ֣הוּ דָוִ֔ד בֵּ֥ית עֹבֵֽד אֱד֖וֹם הַגִּתִּֽי	10		And David did not consent to turn aside to himself the ark of Yahweh to the city of David, but David swerved to the house of the servant of Edom the Gittite.	3d	4B	20 14

And Michal, the daughter of Saul, leaned to look through the window, and she saw the king, David, nimble and gyrating in the presence of Yahweh, and she despised him in her heart.	3e	4C	11 40
וַיָּבִ֜אוּ אֶת אֲר֣וֹן יְהוָ֗ה וַיַּצִּ֤גוּ אֹתוֹ֙ בִּמְקוֹמ֔וֹ בְּת֣וֹךְ הָאֹ֔הֶל אֲשֶׁ֥ר נָטָה ל֖וֹ דָּוִ֑ד וַיַּ֨עַל דָּוִ֥ד עֹל֛וֹת לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָ֖ה וּשְׁלָמִֽים	17		And they brought the ark of Yahweh and exhibited it in its place in the midst of the tent that David had stretched out for it.

And all the people went away, each to his own house.	3e	4B	40 10
וַיָּ֥שָׁב דָּוִ֖ד לְבָרֵ֣ךְ אֶת בֵּית֑וֹ וַתֵּצֵ֞א מִיכַ֤ל בַּת שָׁאוּל֙ לִקְרַ֣את דָּוִ֔ד וַתֹּ֗אמֶר מַה נִּכְבַּ֨ד הַיּ֜וֹם מֶ֣לֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל אֲשֶׁ֨ר נִגְלָ֤ה הַיּוֹם֙ לְעֵינֵ֨י אַמְה֣וֹת עֲבָדָ֔יו כְּהִגָּל֥וֹת נִגְל֖וֹת אַחַ֥ד הָרֵקִֽים	20		And David returned to bless his house, and Michal the daughter of Saul came out to encounter David, and she said, How glorious today the king of Israel who was uncovered today in the sight of the maidservants of his servants, as one of the empty-headed would uncover himself.	3e	4C	11 50
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר דָּוִד֮ אֶל מִיכַל֒ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר בָּֽחַר בִּ֤י מֵֽאָבִיךְ֙ וּמִכָּל בֵּית֔וֹ לְצַוֺּ֨ת אֹתִ֥י נָגִ֛יד עַל עַ֥ם יְהוָ֖ה עַל יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְשִׂחַקְתִּ֖י לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה	21		And David said to Michal, In the presence of Yahweh, who chose me over your father, and from all his house, commanding me as herald over the people of Yahweh, over Israel. So I will gambol in the presence of Yahweh.	3d	4C	40 8
וּנְקַלֹּ֤תִי עוֹד֙ מִזֹּ֔את וְהָיִ֥יתִי שָׁפָ֖ל בְּעֵינָ֑י וְעִם הָֽאֲמָהוֹת֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָמַ֔רְתְּ עִמָּ֖ם אִכָּבֵֽדָה	22		And I will be slighted further than this, and I will be abased in my eyes, but with the maidservants of which you talk, with them, I will be glorified.	3e	4C	16 17
וּלְמִיכַל֙ בַּת שָׁא֔וּל לֹֽא הָ֥יָה לָ֖הּ יָ֑לֶד עַ֖ד י֥וֹם מוֹתָֽהּ	23		And for Michal, the daughter of Saul, there was for her no newborn, to the day of her death.	3e	4A	12 4
