Qui dereliquit consilium senum, quod dederant ei, et adhibuit adolescentes, qui nutriti fuerant cum eo, et assistebant illi,

Vulgate

καὶ ἑνκατέλιπεν τὴν βουλὴν τῶν πρεσβυτέρων ἃ συνεβουλεύσαντο αὐτῷ, καὶ συνεβουλεύσατο μετὰ τῶν παιδαρίων τῶν ἐκτραφέντων μετ’ αὐτοῦ τῶν παρεστηκότων πρὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ

LXX

But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that were grown up with him, that stood before him.
