1 Samuel 25:36

And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.

KJV

Venit autem Abigail ad Nabal : et ecce erat ei convivium in domo ejus quasi convivium regis, et cor Nabal jucundum : erat enim ebrius nimis : et non indicavit ei verbum pusillum aut grande usque mane.

Vulgate

καὶ παρεγενήθη Ἀβειγαία πρὸς Ναβάλ· καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτῷ πότος βασιλέως καὶ ἡ καρδία Ναβὰλ ἀγαθὴ ἐπ’ αὐτόν, καὶ αὐτὸς μεθύων ἕως σφόδρα· καὶ οὐκ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῷ ῥῆμα μικρὸν ἢ μέγα ἕως φωτὸς τοῦ πρωί.

LXX

And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
