And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick.

As the troops were returning home after David had killed the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel to meet King Saul with singing and dancing, with joyful songs, and with tambourines and other instruments.

And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.

And as the women danced, they sang out: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.”
