1 Samuel 18:4-6

New Century Version

⁴ He took off his coat and gave it to David, along with his armor, including his sword, bow, and belt.

⁵ Saul sent David to fight in different battles, and David was very successful. Then Saul put David over the soldiers, which pleased Saul’s officers and all the other people.

⁶ After David had killed the Philistine, he and the men returned home. Women came out from all the towns of Israel to meet King Saul. They sang songs of joy, danced, and played tambourines and stringed instruments.
