Und es geschah, als die Lade Jehovas in die Stadt Davids kam, da schaute Michal, die Tochter Sauls, durchs Fenster; und sie sah den König David vor Jehova hüpfen und tanzen, und sie verachtete ihn in ihrem Herzen.
Und da die Lade des HERRN in die Stadt Davids kam, sah Michal, die Tochter Sauls, durchs Fenster und sah den König David springen und tanzen vor dem HERRN und verachtete ihn in ihrem Herzen.

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.
