1 Samuel 18:5-7 ▼

5 David went out and was successful everywhere Saul sent him, and Saul put him in charge of the troops. This pleased the entire army, as well as Saul's officials.

6 When David returned from defeating the Philistine, as they were entering the city, women from all the towns of Israel came out to meet King Saul, singing and dancing as they joyously played tambourines and lyres.

7 As the women sang and played, they said, |Saul has struck down his thousands but David his ten thousands.|
