I Chronicles 16 and II Samuel 6-9.
When David returns from establishing the Ark and seeing to the appropriate worship practices, he is confronted by Michal, his wife and daughter of Saul. You can almost see her, hand on hip and finger pointing, as she sarcastically takes him to task for his exuberant worshiping of the Lord. His response to her seems equally as sarcastic. The Lord has the last word. Michal goes to her grave childless.
David's extreme treatment of Mephibosheth is a tribute to his extreme love of his friend Jonathan.
Finally, Nathan seeks God's approval on David's behalf. We now learn that Solomon, not David, will be responsible for building a temple for the Lord. God gives David an amazing blessing.
