Context of 1 Samuel 18:9
7The women sang as they played, and said, “Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands.” 8Then Saul became very angry, for this lyric displeased him; and he said, “They have given David credit for ten thousands, but to me they have given credit for only thousands!
