1 Samuel 29:3

Then said the princes of the Philistines, What do these Hebrews here? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, which hath been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell unto me unto this day?

KJV

Dixeruntque principes Philisthiim ad Achis : Quid sibi volunt Hebræi isti ? Et ait Achis ad principes Philisthiim : Num ignoratis David, qui fuit servus Saul regis Israël, et est apud me multis diebus, vel annis, et non inveni in eo quidquam ex die qua transfugit ad me usque ad diem hanc ?

Vulgate

καὶ εἶπον οἱ σατράπαι τῶν ἀλλοφύλων Τίνες οἱ διαπορευόμενοι οὗτοι; καὶ εἶπεν Ἀγχοὺς πρὸς τοὺς στρατηγοὺς τῶν ἀλλοφύλων Οὐχ οὗτος Δαυεὶδ ὁ δοῦλος Σαοὺλ βασιλέως Ἰσραήλ; γέγονεν μεθ’ ἡμῶν ἡμέρας τοῦτο δεύτερον ἔτος, καὶ οὐχ εὕρηκα ἐν αὐτῷ οὐθὲν ἀφ’ ἧς ἡμέρας ἐνέπεσεν πρὸς μὲ καὶ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.

LXX

Then said the princes of the Philistines, What do these Hebrews here? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who hath been with me these days, or rather these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell away unto me unto this day?
