Wearing an ephod of linen was a symbolic action by which David showed he was humbling himself before Yahweh. He was dressing like an ordinary worshiper rather than wearing his royal robes. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [And David had humbly dressed himself in a simple linen garment]
