The mother of Sisera through the lattice,
‘Why is his chariot delayed in coming?
Why have the hoofbeats of his chariots delayed?’
Then, as the ark of the LORD came into the City of David, [fn]Michal, Saul’s daughter [David’s wife], looked down from the window above and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she felt contempt for him in her heart [because she thought him undignified].

Who [truly] seek after God, [longing for His wisdom and guidance].

To see if there is anyone who understands,
Who seeks after God [who requires Him, who longs for Him as essential to life].
For He looked down from His holy height [of His sanctuary],
From heaven the LORD gazed on the earth,
‘Who is this that looks down like the dawn,
Fair and beautiful as the full moon,
Clear and pure as the sun,
As majestic as an army with banners?’
“Run for safety, you children of Benjamin,
Out of the midst of Jerusalem!
And blow a trumpet in Tekoa [in Judah]
And raise a signal-fire in Beth-haccherem [near Jerusalem];
For evil is looking down [with eager anticipation] from the north,
And great destruction.
