1 Samuel 18:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ And the women sang as they played, and said, “Saul has killed his thousand, and David his ten thousand!”

⁸ Therefore, Saul was exceedingly angry; and the saying displeased him. And he said, “They have ascribed ten thousand to David. And they have ascribed a thousand to me. And what more can he have except the kingdom?”

⁹ Therefore, Saul had an eye on David from that day forward.
