KJV
Factum est autem in diebus illis, congregaverunt Philisthiim agmina sua, ut præpararentur ad bellum contra Israël : dixitque Achis ad David : Sciens nunc scito quoniam mecum egredieris in castris, tu et viri tui.
Vulgate
Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις καὶ συναθροίζονται ἀλλόφυλοι ἐν ταῖς παρεμβολαῖς αὐτῶν, ἐξελθεῖν πολεμεῖν μετὰ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ εἶπεν Ἀγχοὺς πρὸς Δαυείδ Γινώσκων γνώσει ὅτι μετ’ ἐμοῦ ἐξελεύσει εἰς πόλεμον σὺ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες σου.
LXX
And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their hosts together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David, Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me in the host, thou and thy men.
