1 Samuel 18:25
And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
KJV
Dixit autem Saul : Sic loquimini ad David : Non habet rex sponsalia necesse, nisi tantum centum præputia Philisthinorum, ut fiat ultio de inimicis regis. Porro Saul cogitabat tradere David in manus Philisthinorum.
Vulgate
καὶ εἶπεν Σαούλ Τάδε ἐρεῖτε τῷ Δαυείδ Οὐ βούλεται ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν δόματι ἀλλ’ ἢ ἐν ἑκατὸν ἀκροβυστίαις ἀλλοφύλων, ἐκδικῆσαι ἐχθροὺς τοῦ βασιλέως. καὶ Σαοὺλ ἐλογίσατο αὐτὸν ἐμβαλεῖν εἰς χεῖρας τῶν ἀλλοφύλων.
LXX
And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
