1 Samuel 17:8

And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.

KJV

Stansque clamabat adversum phalangas Israël, et dicebat eis : Quare venistis parati ad prælium ? numquid ego non sum Philisthæus, et vos servi Saul ? eligite ex vobis virum, et descendat ad singulare certamen.

Vulgate

καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἀνεβόησεν εἰς τὴν παράταξιν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Τί ἐκπορεύεσθε παρατάξασθαι πολέμῳ ἐξ ἐναντίας ἡμῶν; οὐκ ἐγώ εἰμι ἀλλόφυλος, καὶ ὑμεῖς Ἐβραῖοι καὶ Σαούλ; ἐκλέξασθε ἑαυτοῖς ἄνδρα καὶ καταβήτω τρὸς μέ·

LXX

And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.
