1 Samuel 18:6-9

6It happenedH1961 as they were comingH935, when DavidH1732 returnedH7725 from killingH5221 the PhilistineH6430, that 1the womenH802 cameH3318 out of allH3605 the citiesH5892 of IsraelH3478, singingH7891 and dancingH4246, to meetH7122 KingH4428 SaulH7586, with tambourinesH8596, with joyH8057 and with 2musicalH7991 instrumentsH7991. 7The womenH802 3sangH6031 as they 4playedH7832, and saidH559, “5SaulH7586 has slainH5221 his thousandsH505, 6And DavidH1732 his tenH7233 thousandsH7233.” 8Then SaulH7586 becameH2734 veryH3966 angryH2734, for thisH2088 sayingH1697 7displeasedH7489H5869 him; and he saidH559, “They have ascribedH5414 to DavidH1732 tenH7233 thousandsH7233, but to me they have ascribedH5414 thousandsH505. Now 8what moreH5750 can he have but the kingdomH4410?” 9SaulH7586 lookedH5870 at DavidH1732 with suspicionH5870 from that dayH3117 on.
