6 And as they came againe when Dauid was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dausing, to meete king Saul, with timbrels, with ioy, and with instrumentes of musicke.

7 And the women aunswered one another in their play, and sayde: Saul hath slaine his thousand, and Dauid his ten thousand.

8 And Saul was exceeding wroth, and the saying displeased him, and he sayd: They haue ascribed vnto Dauid ten thousand, & to me but a thousande: and what can he more haue, saue the kingdome?

9 Wherfore Saul had an eye on Dauid from that day forwarde.
