1 Samuel 18:5

And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, [and] behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.

And David {H1732} went out {H3318} whithersoever Saul {H7586} sent {H7971} him, and behaved himself wisely {H7919}: and Saul {H7586} set {H7760} him over the men {H582} of war {H4421}, and he was accepted {H3190} in the sight {H5869} of all the people {H5971}, and also in the sight {H5869} of Saul's {H7586} servants {H5650}.

David would go out, and no matter where Sha'ul sent him, he was successful. Sha'ul put him in charge of the fighting men; all the people thought it good, and so did Sha'ul's servants.

So David marched out and prospered in everything Saul sent him to do, and Saul set him over the men of war. And this was pleasing in the sight of all the people, and of Saul’s officers as well.

And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.
