1 Samuel 18:6-8
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
6 As they were coming home, when David returned from slaying the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with timbrels, with songs of joy, and with instruments[a] of music. 7 And the women sang to one another as they made merry,
“Saul has slain his thousands,
and David his ten thousands.”
8 And Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him; he said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed thousands; and what more can he have but the kingdom?”
