1 Samuel 18:1-9

1Now it came about when he had finished speaking to Saul, that 1the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and 2Jonathan loved him as himself. 2Saul took him that day and 3did not let him return to his father’s house. 3Then 4Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself. 45Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David, with his armor, including his sword and his bow and his belt. 5So David went out wherever Saul sent him, and 6prospered; and Saul set him over the men of war. And it was pleasing in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.

6It happened as they were coming, when David returned from killing the Philistine, that 7the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with joy and with 8musical instruments. 7The women 9sang as they 10played, and said, “11Saul has slain his thousands, 12And David his ten thousands.” 8Then Saul became very angry, for this saying 13displeased him; and he said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but to me they have ascribed thousands. Now 14what more can he have but the kingdom?” 9Saul looked at David with suspicion from that day on.
