1Ch 15:29
15:29 And it came to pass, [as] the ark of the {q} covenant of
      the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the
      daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David
      dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.

      (q) It was so called because it reminded the Israelites of
          the Lord's covenant made with them.
