1 Samuel 28:9

And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?

KJV

Et ait mulier ad eum : Ecce, tu nosti quanta fecerit Saul, et quomodo eraserit magos et hariolos de terra : quare ergo insidiaris animæ meæ, ut occidar ?

Vulgate

καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνὴ πρὸς αὐτόν Ἰδοὺ δὴ σὺ οἶδας ὅσα ἐποίησεν Σαούλ, ὡς ἐξωλέθρευσεν τοὺς ἐνγαστριμύθους καὶ τοὺς γνώστας ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς· καὶ ἵνα τί σὺ παγιδεύεις τὴν ψυχήν μου θανατῶσαι αὐτήν;

LXX

And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?
