1 Samuel 18:5-7

18:5 On every mission on which Saul sent him, David achieved success. So Saul appointed him over the men of war. This pleased not only all the army, but also Saul’s servants.¹

18:6 When the men² arrived after David returned from striking down the Philistine, the women from all the cities of Israel came out singing and dancing to meet King Saul. They were happy as they played their tambourines and three-stringed instruments.³ 18:7 The women who were playing the music sang,

“Saul has struck down his thousands,

but David his tens of thousands!”

1 Samuel 18:25

Context
18:25 Saul replied, “Here is what you should say to David: ‘There is nothing that the king wants as a price for the bride except a hundred Philistine foreskins, so that he can be avenged of his⁴ enemies.’” (Now Saul was thinking that he could kill David by the hand of the Philistines.)

¹tn Heb “it was good in the eyes of all the people and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul.”

²tn Heb “them.” The masculine plural pronoun apparently refers to the returning soldiers.

³tn Heb “with tambourines, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments.”

⁴tn Heb “the king’s.”
