1 Chronicles 28:4

Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked me to make me king over all Israel:

KJV

Sed elegit Dominus Deus Israël me de universa domo patris mei, ut essem rex super Israël in sempiternum : de Juda enim elegit principes : porro de domo Juda, domum patris mei, et de filiis patris mei placuit ei ut me eligeret regem super cunctum Israël.

Vulgate

καὶ ἐξελέξατο Κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν ἐμοὶ ἀπὸ παντὸς οἴκου πατρός μου εἶναι βασιλέα ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· καὶ ἐν Ἰούδᾳ ᾑρέτικεν τὸ βασίλειον, καὶ ἐξ οἴκου Ἰούδα τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός μου· ἐν ἐμοὶ ἠθέλησεν, τοῦ γενέσθαι με βασιλέα ἐπὶ τῷ παντὶ Ἰσραήλ.

LXX

Howbeit Jehovah, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah to be prince; and in the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel;
