1 Samuel

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

Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Beth–lehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.
