When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken: and when they sought him, he could not be found.

KJV

Et applicuit tribum Benjamin et cognationes ejus, et cecidit cognatio Metri : et pervenit usque ad Saul filium Cis. Quæsierunt ergo eum, et non est inventus.

Vulgate

καὶ προσάγει σκῆπτρον Βενιαμεὶν εἰς φυλάς, καὶ κατακληροῦται φυλὴ Ματταρεί· καὶ προσάγουσιν τὴν φυλὴν Ματταρεὶ εἰς ἄνδρας, καὶ κατακληροῦται Σαοὺλ υἱὸς Κείς. καὶ ἐζήτει αὐτόν, καὶ οὐχ εὑρίσκετο.

LXX

And he brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families; and the family of the Matrites was taken; and Saul the son of Kish was taken: but when they sought him, he could not be found.
