4 But the leaders of the Philistines became angry with him and said to him, |Send the man back! Let him return to the place that you assigned him! Don't let him go down with us into the battle, for he might become our adversary in the battle. What better way to please his lord than with the heads of these men?

5 Isn't this David, of whom they sang as they danced, 'Saul has struck down his thousands, but David his tens of thousands'?|
