1 Samuel 18:6-9 ▼

6 As they were coming [home], when David returned from killing the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul with tambourines, [songs of] joy, and musical instruments.

7 The women sang as they played and danced, saying, “Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands.”

8 Then Saul became very angry, for this saying displeased him; and he said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but to me they have ascribed [only] thousands. Now what more can he have but the kingdom?”

9 Saul looked at David with suspicion [and jealously] from that day forward.
