1 Samuel 18:6-9 ▼

6 And it comes to pass, in their coming in, in David’s returning from striking the Philistine, that the women come out from all the cities of Israel to sing—also the dancers—to meet Saul the king, with tambourines, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments;

7 and the women answer—those playing, and say, “Saul has struck among his thousands, || And David among his myriads.”

8 And it is exceedingly displeasing to Saul, and this thing is evil in his eyes, and he says, “They have given myriads to David, and they have given the thousands to me, and what more [is there] for him but the kingdom?”

9 And Saul is eyeing David from that day and from then on.
