1 Samuel 18:5-7
Lexham English Bible

David’s Successes Arouse Saul’s Suspicions

5 David went out whenever[a] Saul sent him, and he succeeded. So Saul appointed him over the men of the war, and it pleased[b] all the people and even pleased[c] the servants of Saul. 6 When they were coming back[d] after David had returned from striking down the Philistine, the women went out from all the cities of Israel singing and dancing to meet King Saul with tambourines, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments. 7 And the women sang as they danced, and they said,

“Saul has struck down his thousands,
    but David his ten thousands!”
