1 Samuel 22:23

Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with me thou shalt be in safeguard.

KJV

Mane mecum : ne timeas : si quis quæsierit animam meam, quæret et animam tuam, mecumque servaberis.

Vulgate

κάθου μετ’ ἐμοῦ, μὴ φοβοῦ· ὅτι οὗ ἐὰν ζητῶ τῇ ψυχῇ μοῦ τόπον, ζητήσω καὶ τῇ ψυχῇ σοῦ, ὅτι πεφύλαξαι σὺ παρ’ ἐμοί.

LXX

Abide thou with me, fear not; for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: for with me thou shalt be in safeguard.
