1 Samuel 26:21
Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.
KJV
Et ait Saul : Peccavi : revertere, fili mi David : nequaquam enim ultra tibi malefaciam, eo quod pretiosa fuerit anima mea in oculis tuis hodie : apparet enim quod stulte egerim, et ignoraverim multa nimis.
Vulgate
καὶ εἶπεν Σαούλ Ἡμάρτηκα· ἐπίστρεφε, τέκνον Δαυείδ· ὅτι οὐ κακοποιήσω σε, ἀνθ’ ὧν ἔντιμος ψυχή μου ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου· καὶ ἐν τῇ σήμερον μεματαίωμαι καὶ ἠγνόηκα πολλὰ σφόδρα.
LXX
Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David; for I will no more do thee harm, because my life was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.
