וַיְהִי בְּבוֹאָם בְּשׁוּב דָּוִד מֵהַכּוֹת אֶת־הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי וַתֵּצֶאנָה הַנָּשִׁים מִכׇּל־עָרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל (לשור) [לָשִׁיר] וְהַמְּחֹלוֹת לִקְרַאת שָׁאוּל הַמֶּלֶךְ בְּתֻפִּים בְּשִׂמְחָה וּבְשָׁלִשִֽׁים׃
When [the troops] came back, when Dovid returned from slaying the Philistines, the women from all the towns of Yisroel came out to sing and play musical instruments to greet King Shaul, with timbrels, joyful sounds and cymbals.

וַֽתַּעֲנֶינָה הַנָּשִׁים הַֽמְשַׂחֲקוֹת וַתֹּאמַרְןָ הִכָּה שָׁאוּל בַּאֲלָפָו וְדָוִד בְּרִבְבֹתָֽיו׃
The rejoicing women called out, and said, "Shaul has slain his thousands, and Dovid his tens of thousands."

וַיִּחַר לְשָׁאוּל מְאֹד וַיֵּרַע בְּעֵינָיו הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה וַיֹּאמֶר נָתְנוּ לְדָוִד רְבָבוֹת וְלִי נָתְנוּ הָאֲלָפִים וְעוֹד לוֹ אַךְ הַמְּלוּכָֽה׃
Shaul grew very angry, and this matter upset him. He said, "They have attributed to Dovid ten thousands, while to me they have attributed thousands. He is lacking only the kingship."

Rashi
ועוד לו. ועוד לו מה הוא נחסר שצריך להוסיף לו:
He is lacking. What more is he lacking, that he needs to acquire?
אך המלוכה. אינו צריך עוד אלא למלכות:
Only the kingship. He needs nothing else but the kingship.
וַיְהִי שָׁאוּל (עון) [עוֹיֵן] אֶת־דָּוִד מֵֽהַיּוֹם הַהוּא וָהָֽלְאָה׃ {ס}
Shaul viewed Dovid suspiciously from that day on.

ובשלשים. תרגם יונתן: ובצלצלין. מין כלי זמר:
