In context

7And as the women danced, they sang out: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.”

8And 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?”

9And from that day forward Saul kept a jealous eye on David.

10The next day a spirit of distress sent from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied inside the house while David played the harp as usual. Now Saul was holding a spear,

11And he hurled it, thinking, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David eluded him twice.
