And now, behold, I know well that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thine hand.

Quis enim cum invenerit inimicum suum, dimittet eum in via bona ? sed Dominus reddat tibi vicissitudinem hanc pro eo quod hodie operatus es in me.

Vulgate

καὶ ὅτι εἰ εὕροιτό τις τὸν ἐχθρὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν θλίψει καὶ ἐκπέμψαι αὐτὸν ἐν ὁδῷ ἀγαθῇ, καὶ Κύριος ἀνταποτίσει αὐτῷ ἀγαθά, καθὼς πεποίηκας σήμερον.

LXX

And now, behold, I know that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thy hand.
