Good pic. Breastplate is attached. Private parts (penis and buttocks) would not beexposed for the world to see, especially since David offered sacrice that day and addressed a great number.

Matthew Henry's Commentary:
On this occasion David laid aside his royal robes , and put on a plain linen dress. David prayed with and for the people, and as a prophet, solemnly blessed them in the name of the Lord.

You are kidding? The whole package is exposed. This first picture covers very little below the waist and what it does cover would be flapping like crazy if someone was dancing.

After seeing what he was wearing, I fully understand why some commentators say he was naked. Its like saying a man wasn't naked because he wore a scarf.

It is ALLLLLLLLL that he had on. He wasn't wearing a breastplate or anything else for that matter. He was wearing an ephod ONLY. Yes, he would have exposed himself. Not intentionally but exposed nonetheless. His wife is recorded as saying as much. She was disgusted by it accusing him of showing himself to the slave girls.

The ephod was either at the waist or just below it. THINK about it. Matthew Henry's commentary says that he laid aside his robes. It says he put on a dress. Well, 'ol Henry wasn't being scriptural there now was he? He was wearing an ephod. Ephods aren't long like dresses. They aren't stand alone garments. They are to be worn over the priestly robe.
