1 Samuel 18:6-7

18:6 When the men 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. 18:7 The women who were playing the music sang,

“Saul has struck down his thousands,

but David his tens of thousands!”


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

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