1 Samuel 18:30

Setiap kali pasukan Filistin menyerang orang Israel, Daud selalu lebih berhasil mengalahkan mereka daripada segala komandan Saul yang lain, sehingga nama Daud menjadi terkenal.

Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, after they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by.
