1 Samuel 18:6-8
New King James Version
6 Now it had happened as they were coming home, when David was returning from the slaughter of the [a]Philistine, that (A)the women had come out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with musical instruments. 7 So the women (B)sang as they danced, and said:
(C)“Saul has slain his thousands,
And David his ten thousands.”
8 Then Saul was very angry, and the saying (D)displeased him; and he said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed only thousands. Now what more can he have but (E)the kingdom?”
