1 Samuel 18:5-7
New International Version
5 Whatever mission Saul sent him on, David was so successful(A) that Saul gave him a high rank in the army.(B) This pleased all the troops, and Saul’s officers as well.
6 When the men were returning home after David had killed the Philistine, the women came out from all the towns of Israel to meet King Saul with singing and dancing,(C) with joyful songs and with timbrels(D) and lyres. 7 As they danced, they sang:(E)
“Saul has slain his thousands,
and David his tens(F) of thousands.”

7 And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
