1 Samuel 18:6-9
6Now it happened as they were coming, when David returned from killing the Philistine, that 1the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with joy and with other 2musical instruments. 7The women 3sang as they 4played, and said, “5Saul has slain his thousands, 6And David his ten thousands.” 8Then Saul became very angry, for this lyric 7displeased him; and he said, “They have given David credit for ten thousands, but to me they have given credit for only thousands! Now what more can he have but the 8kingdom?” 9And Saul eyed David with suspicion from that day on.
