Institution of the Lord’s Supper
23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, [a]“Take, eat; this is My body which is [b]broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.”

“2 Samuel 6:12-23
New King James Version
12 Now it was told King David, saying, “The Lord has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with gladness. 13 And so it was, when those bearing the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, that he sacrificed oxen and fatted sheep. 14 Then David danced[a] before the Lord with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod. 15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet.
16 Now as the ark of the Lord came into the City of David, Michal, Saul’s daughter, looked through a window and saw King David leaping and whirling before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart. 17 So they brought the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord. 18 And when David had finished offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts. 19 Then he distributed among all the people, among the whole multitude of Israel, both the women and the men, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins. So all the people departed, everyone to his house.
20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, “How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants, as one of the base fellows [b]shamelessly uncovers himself!”
21 So David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel. Therefore I will play music before the Lord. 22 And I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight. But as for the maidservants of whom you have spoken, by them I will be held in honor.”
23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.

“12 Now it was told King David, saying, “The Lord has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.
So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with gladness.”
“6:12-15 | According to the parallel passage in 1 Chronicles, David—now back in fellowship with the Lord—had the ark transported in the way that was commanded by God through Moses (1 Chron. 15:15): he first prepared a place for it to rest in Jerusalem (the City of David), and then he had the Levites carry it using the designated poles while offering sacrifices along the way (1 Chron. 15:1-15). God’s way of doing things can be known by searching His Word.’
‘6:13 | Some scholars interpret had gone six paces to mean that they sacrificed after the first six paces, when it was clear God would not strike them dead. Others think it means that they sacrificed every six paces for the entire journey.’
6:14 | David was so overcome with joy at the return of the Lord’s presence to Jerusalem that he expressed it in a lively dance (Ps. 149:3; 150:4). In wearing the linen ephod, David assumed the role of both king and priest.’
6:16-23 | David’s wife Michal had been given in marriage to another man while David was a fugitive (1 Sam. 25:44) and then returned to David, perhaps unwillingly (3:14-16). Perhaps she thought he should have worn royal robes instead of the priestly ephod; in any case, she was more concerned for her reputation than for the return of the ark. David came home to bless his household and was instead greeted with sarcastic, biting words from his wife.” (THE JEREMIAH STUDY BIBLE—DR. DAVID JEREMIAH—NEW KING JAMES STUDY BIBLE—WORTHY)
