2 Samuel 8:9

Now Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, and he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, the sons of Ammon, Edom, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines; and wherever he turned, he inflicted punishment.

And it happened that all the people were disputing throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “The king delivered us from the hand of our enemies and provided us escape from the hand of the Philistines, but now he has fled out of the land from Absalom.

“You have also delivered me from the contentions of my people; You have kept me as head of the nations; A people whom I have not known serve me.

Now it happened afterwards, that David struck the Philistines and subdued them and took Gath and its towns from the hand of the Philistines.

You have delivered me from the contentions of the people; You have placed me as head of the nations; A people whom I have not known serve me.
