2 Chronicles 30:6
So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
KJV
Perrexeruntque cursores cum epistolis ex regis imperio, et principum ejus, in universum Israël et Judam, juxta id quod rex jusserat, prædicantes : Filii Israël, revertimini ad Dominum Deum Abraham, et Isaac, et Israël : et revertetur ad reliquias quæ effugerunt manum regis Assyriorum.
Vulgate
καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ τρέχοντες σὺν ταῖς ἐπιστολαῖς παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων εἰς πάντα Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰουδὰ κατὰ τὸ πρόσταγμα τοῦ βασιλέως λέγοντες Οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ, ἐπιστρέψατε πρὸς θεὸν Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐπιστρέψατε τοὺς ἀνασεσωσμένους τοὺς καταλειφθέντας ἀπὸ χειρὸς βασιλέως Ἀσσούρ.
LXX
So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may return to the remnant that are escaped of you out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
