Evangelical Heritage Version
1 Samuel 18:5-7
Evangelical Heritage Version
5 David went out wherever Saul sent him, and he was successful. So Saul put him in charge of a group of soldiers. All the people approved, as did Saul’s officials.
6 As the army was coming back from battle, when David was returning from striking down the Philistine, women came out from all the cities of Israel to meet King Saul with singing and dancing, with joyful music, with hand drums, and with noisemakers.[a] 7 The women sang to each other as they played:
Saul has slain his thousands,
and David his ten thousands.
