1 Samuel 29:6

Then Achish called David, and said unto him, Surely, as the LORD liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight: for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lords favour thee not.

KJV

Vocavit ergo Achis David, et ait ei : Vivit Dominus, quia rectus es tu, et bonus in conspectu meo : et exitus tuus, et introitus tuus mecum est in castris : et non inveni in te quidquam mali ex die qua venisti ad me usque in diem hanc : sed satrapis non places.

Vulgate

καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἀγχοὺς τὸν Δαυεὶδ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ζῇ Κύριος, ὅτι εὐθὴς σὺ καὶ ἀγαθὸς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς μου, καὶ ἡ ἔξοδός σου καὶ ἡ εἴσοδός σου μετ’ ἐμοῦ ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ· καὶ ὅτι οὐχ εὕρηκα κατὰ σοῦ κακίαν ἀφ’ ἧς ἡμέρας ἥκεις πρὸς μὲ ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας, καὶ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς τῶν σατραπῶν ἀγαθὸς σύ.

LXX

Then Achish called David, and said unto him, As Jehovah liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight; for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lords favor thee not.
