1 Samuel 18:7 in Context — 1 Samuel 18

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.

9 Et Saül regarda David d’un mauvais œil, à partir de ce jour et dans la suite.
