1 Samuel 18:7
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
And as the women danced, they sang out: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.”
In context
5 So David marched out and prospered in everything Saul sent him to do, and Saul set him over the men of war. And this was pleasing in the sight of all the people, and of Saul’s officers as well.
6 As the troops were returning home after David had killed the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel to meet King Saul with singing and dancing, with joyful songs, and with tambourines and other instruments.
7 And as the women danced, they sang out: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.”
8 And Saul was furious and resented this song. “They have ascribed tens of thousands to David,” he said, “but only thousands to me. What more can he have but the kingdom?”
9 And from that day forward Saul kept a jealous eye on David.
