International Standard Version

⁷ As the women sang and played, they said,

⁸ Saul was very angry and he did not like what the women sang. He told himself,^[a] “They have attributed tens of thousands to David, but to me they have attributed thousands. What else can he have but the kingdom?” ⁹ From then on Saul kept his eye on David.^[b]
