Gill's Notes on the Bible

And as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David,.... Being brought thither on the shoulders of the Levites:

Michal, Saul's daughter, looked through a window; in the king's palace, to see the procession, which was very grand, and in great pomp, attended by a vast number of people, and with music of all sorts. She is said to be Saul's daughter, though David's wife, as having a good deal of her father's haughty temper and disposition, as appears by what follows:

and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord; the ark of the Lord, by these outward gestures expressing the inward joy of his heart on this occasion;

and she despised him in her heart; as acting a mean part, quite beneath himself, and unbecoming his royal dignity.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

She despised him in her heart - In the days of Saul the ark had been neglected 1 Chronicles 13:3, and Saul had in everything shown himself to be an irreligious king. Michal seems to have been of a like spirit.

The whole section, 2Sa. 6:16-36, should be compared with 1 Chronicles 15:29; 1 Chronicles 16:43.

The peace offerings were with a special view to feasting the people. (Compare 1 Kings 8:63-66.)

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Samuel 6:16. She despised him in her heart. — She did not blame him outwardly; she thought he had disgraced himself, but she kept her mind to herself.
