2 Chronicles 21:13

But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, like to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father’s house, which were better than thyself:

KJV

sed incessisti per iter regum Israël, et fornicari fecisti Judam et habitatores Jerusalem, imitatus fornicationem domus Achab, insuper et fratres tuos, domum patris tui, meliores te, occidisti :

Vulgate

καὶ ἐπορεύθης ἐν ὁδοῖς βασιλέως Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσας τὸν Ἰούδαν καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ ὡς ἐξεπόρνευσεν οἶκος Ἀχαάβ, καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου υἱοὺς πατρός σου τοὺς ἀγαθοὺς ὑπὲρ σὲ ἀπέκτεινας·

LXX

but hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot, like as the house of Ahab did, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father’s house, who were better than thyself:
