1 Samuel 18:6 in Context — 1 Samuel 18

4 Il ôta le manteau qu’il portait, pour le donner à David; et il lui donna ses vêtements, même son épée, son arc et sa ceinture.

5 David allait et réussissait partout où l’envoyait Saül; il fut mis par Saül à la tête des gens de guerre, et il plaisait à tout le peuple, même aux serviteurs de Saül.

6 Comme ils revenaient, lors du retour de David après qu’il eut tué le Philistin, les femmes sortirent de toutes les villes d’Israël au-devant du roi Saül, en chantant et en dansant, au son des tambourins et des triangles, et en poussant des cris de joie.

7 Les femmes qui chantaient se répondaient les unes aux autres, et disaient: Saül a frappé ses mille, Et David ses dix mille.

8 Saül fut très irrité, et cela lui déplut. Il dit: On en donne dix mille à David, et c’est à moi que l’on donne les mille! Il ne lui manque plus que la royauté.
