6 At the approach of Saul and David, on David’s return after striking down the Philistine, women came out from all the cities of Israel to meet Saul the king, singing and dancing, with tambourines, joyful songs, and stringed instruments. 7 The women played and sang: “Saul has slain his thousands, David his tens of thousands.” 8 Saul was very angry and resentful of the song, for he thought: “They give David tens of thousands, but only thousands to me. All that remains for him is the kingship.” 9 From that day on, Saul kept a jealous eye on David. 1 Samuel 18:6-9, New American Bible Revised. Copyright © 2010 USCCB.
