1 Sam. 18:5      1 Sam. 18:7

First Samuel 18:6

And it came to pass, when they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistines, that the women came out of the cities of Israel, singing and dancing to meet King Saul with tambourines, with joy and with shalishim instruments. [The Hebrew word shalishim is used only here and has to do with the word "three," which some interpret as a three-stringed instrument. It may also be an onomatopoeic word describing an instrument that sounds "shal-shal-shal," and is some kind of rhythm instrument like a rattle.]
