"I am willing to shame and humiliate myself even more than this! But with the slave girls whom you mentioned let me be distinguished!”"
— 2 Samuel 6:22, NET Bible
“And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.”
“And I will be yet more vile than this, and will be base in mine own sight: but of the handmaids of whom thou hast spoken, of them shall I be had in honor. ”
“I will be yet more vile than this, and will be base in my own sight. But of the handmaids of whom you have spoken, they shall honor me."”
“I will both play and make myself meaner than I have done: and I will be little in my own eyes: and with the handmaids of whom thou speakest, I shall appear more glorious.”
“And I will do even worse than this, and make myself even lower in your eyes: but the servant-girls of whom you were talking will give me honour.”
“And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.”

When David went home to pronounce a blessing on his own house, Michal, Saul’s daughter, came out to meet him. She said,“How the king of Israel has distinguished himself this day! He has exposed himself today before his servants’ slave girls the way a vulgar fool might do!”

I am willing to shame and humiliate myself even more than this! But with the slave girls whom you mentioned let me be distinguished!”
