New Testament

1 Samuel 18:4-7 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

4. Jonathan took off the robe he was wearing and gave it to David. He also gave him his military clothes. He even gave him his sword, his bow and his belt.

5. David did everything Saul sent him to do. He did it so well that Saul gave him a high rank in the army. That pleased Saul's whole army, including his officers.

6. After David had killed Goliath, the men of Israel returned home. The women came out of all of the towns of Israel to meet King Saul. They danced and sang joyful songs. They played lutes and tambourines.

7. As they danced, they sang, "Saul has killed thousands of men. David has killed tens of thousands."
