1 Samuel 28:20

Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.

KJV

Statimque Saul cecidit porrectus in terram : extimuerat enim verba Samuelis, et robur non erat in eo, quia non comederat panem tota die illa.

Vulgate

καὶ ἔσπευσεν Σαοὺλ καὶ ἔπεσεν ἑστηκὼς ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἐφοβήθη σφόδρα ἀπὸ τῶν λόγων Σαμουήλ· καὶ ἰσχὺς ἐν αὐτῷ οὐκ ἦν ἔτι, οὐ γὰρ ἔφαγεν ἄρτον ὁλην τὴν ἡμέραν καὶ ὅλην τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην.

LXX

Then Saul fell straightway his full length upon the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.
