ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૧૮:૬
જયારે દાઉદ પલિસ્તીઓને હરાવ્યા પછી તેઓ પાછા આવતા હતા ત્યારે ઇઝરાયલનાં સર્વ નગરોમાંથી સ્ત્રીઓ ગાતી તથા નાચતી, ખંજરી સાથે, આનંદથી, સંગીતનાં વાજિંત્રો વગાડતા શાઉલને મળવા માટે બહાર આવી.
हिन्दी1 शमूएल १८:६
जब दाऊद उस पलिश्ती को मारकर लौट रहा था, और वे सब लोग भी आ रहे थे, तब सब इस्राएली नगरों से स्त्रियों ने निकलकर डफ और तिकोने बाजे लिए हुए, आनन्द के साथ गाती और नाचती हुई, शाऊल राजा के स्वागत में निकलीं।

In context

4Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David with his clothing, even including his sword, his bow, and his sash.

5David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely; and Saul set him over the men of war. It was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.

6As they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.

7The women sang to one another as they played, and said, “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.”

8Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him. He said, “They have credited David with ten thousands, and they have only credited me with thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?”
