1 Samuel 30:13

And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.

KJV

Dixit itaque ei David : Cujus es tu ? vel unde ? et quo pergis ? Qui ait : Puer ægyptius ego sum, servus viri Amalecitæ : dereliquit autem me dominus meus, quia ægrotare cœpi nudiustertius.

Vulgate

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Δαυείδ Τίνος σὺ εἶ, καὶ πόθεν εἶ; καὶ εἶπεν τὸ παιδάριον τὸ Αἰγύπτιον Ἐγώ εἰμι δοῦλος ἀνδρὸς Ἀμαληκείτου, καὶ κατέλιπέν με ὁ κύριός μου, ὅτι ἠνωχλήθην ἐγὼ σήμερον τριταῖος.

LXX

And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
