11 And the ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months; and the LORD blessed Obed-edom, and all his house.
12 And it was told king David, saying: 'The LORD hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God.' And David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with joy.
13 And it was so, that when they that bore the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling. Wow, every 6 pace!!
14 And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod. Woohoo!!!! Serve God with all your might!
15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the horn.
16 And it was so, as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.
17 And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before the LORD.
18 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.
.........
20 Then David returned to bless his household. {S} And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said: 'How did the king of Israel get him honour to-day, who uncovered himself to-day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!'
Ah, perhaps you should get your blessings first before disparaging??? Or better yet, keep the mouth shut.
21 And David said unto Michal: 'Before the LORD, who chose me above thy father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of the LORD, over Israel, before the LORD will I make merry.
Dag!
22 And I will be yet more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight; and with the handmaids whom thou hast spoken of, with them will I get me honour.'
23 And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death. {P}
In the Jewish Bible, the {P} usually means "we are SO done with this topic!" lol.

What does the "S" represent?
If there's a moral to this story it's this: it's more blessed to bless than curse, to approve than correct.
And if the person you're cursing or correcting is approved of God, you're really messing up.
Hi Domino,
The S is like a soft ending. Maybe like a semi colon? Like in Genesis chapter 3, when God was saying what would happen to everyone involved in the sin of the forbidden fruit, after each ones reparation, the serpent, the man, and the woman's, there is a {S} after each.
example of S's.
However, when God created each day, after each day's creation ("and it was day one" or ".. day two, etc) it ends with a {P} as in each day was a completely different things.
example of P's.
