1 Samuel 18:5-7
Revised Standard Version
5 And David went out and was successful wherever Saul sent him; so that Saul set him over the men of war. And this was good in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.
6 As they were coming home, when David returned from slaying the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with timbrels, with songs of joy, and with instruments[a] of music. 7 And the women sang to one another as they made merry,
“Saul has slain his thousands,
and David his ten thousands.”
