Contextual Overview
25 David, the elders of Israel, and the generals went to get the Box of the Lord 's Agreement. They brought it out from Obed Edom's house. Everyone was very happy! 26 God had helped the Levites who carried the Box of the Lord 's Agreement. So they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams to him. 27 All the Levites who carried the Holy Box wore robes made from fine linen. Kenaniah, the man in charge of the singing, and all the singers had robes made from fine linen. David also wore a robe made from fine linen. He also wore an ephod made of fine linen. 28 So all the Israelites joined in bringing up the Box of the Lord 's Agreement. They shouted, they blew rams' horns and trumpets, and they played cymbals, lyres, and harps. 29 When the Box of the Lord 's Agreement arrived at the City of David, Saul's daughter Michal looked through a window. When she saw King David dancing and playing, she lost her respect for him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen,.... For though a king, he, being among the singers, was clothed as they; for so it follows:
and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song; or of those that bore the burden, the ark, as the Targum:
with the singers; all were clothed in robes of fine linen:
David also had upon him an ephod of linen; which he had besides his linen robe, and was over it; and being a shorter and tighter garment, it bound the other closer to him; though some think this is explanative of the former, and designs the same, and is what others, besides priests, were, on occasion, allowed to wear, see 1 Samuel 2:18.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
“Fine linen” (byssus) is here first spoken of as used for dress. It seems to have been reserved for nobles of the highest rank Esther 8:15, for kings, and for priests 2 Chronicles 5:12. David’s robe was probably worn, like that of the high priest, immediately under the ephod, and may, like that, have reached the feet.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Chronicles 15:27. A robe of flue linen — A robe made of בוץ buts, probably the tuft or beard of the Pinna Magna, a species of muscle found every where on the shores of the Mediterranean, growing sometimes, as I have seen, to a foot and a half in length. I have seen a pair of gloves made of this very rich stuff; the colour is a deep dark yellow, something inclining to what is called the lilac. The buts or byssus was not heard of in Israel before the time of David: after that it is frequently mentioned.
