Gill's Notes on the Bible
[Is] not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances,.... Long ago:
saying, Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands; so that he is an old sworn enemy of ours; and the more valiant and victorious he has been, the less is he to be trusted, see 1 Samuel 18:7.
