‘Saul has killed many people,
but David, he has killed countless!’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Rejoicing, the girls sang songs like this,
"Saul has killed thousands,
And David has killed
thousands and thousands.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “This was their song:
‘Saul has-killed a thousand, but David on-the-other-hand ten thousand.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - English: “As they danced, they sang this song to each other:

But David has killed 10,000 of them.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
