Why did David bless the people?

2 Samuel 6:18 (NEG79)

18 Quand David eut achevé d'offrir les holocaustes et les sacrifices d'actions de grâces, il bénit le peuple au nom de l'Eternel des armées.

David uttered a priestly blessing (see Numbers 6:22–24), similar to that of Melchizedek (Genesis 14:18–19).1 He did so as a confirmation that God’s people enjoyed his favour and that his blessing would now also come to them.
