1 Kings 22:13

And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good.

KJV

Nuntius vero qui ierat ut vocaret Michæam, locutus est ad eum, dicens : Ecce sermones prophetarum ore uno regi bona prædicant : sit ergo sermo tuus similis eorum, et loquere bona.

Vulgate

καὶ ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ πορευθεὶς καλέσαι τὸν Μειχαίαν ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ λέγων Ἰδοὺ δὴ λαλοῦσιν πάντες οἱ προφῆται ἐν στόματι ἐπὶ καλὰ κατὰ τοῦ βασιλέως· γίνου δὴ καὶ σὺ εἰς λόγους σου εἷς κατὰ τοὺς λόγους ἑνὸς τούτων, καὶ λάλησον καλά.

LXX

And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak thou good.
