Saul's anger blazed hot, and the words cut him deeply. He fumed: 'They credit David with tens of thousands, but me with only thousands—the next step is handing him the crown!'
Sha'ul's anger burned fiercely, and this matter was evil in his eyes. He said, 'They have given Dawid the tens of thousands, and me they have given only the thousands—what more can he have but the kingship itself?'
And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?
And Saul was furious and resented this song. “They have ascribed tens of thousands to David,” he said, “but only thousands to me. What more can he have but the kingdom?”
