2 Kings 18:26
Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews’ language in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
KJV
Dixerunt autem Eliacim filius Helciæ, et Sobna, et Joahe Rabsaci : Precamur ut loquaris nobis servis tuis syriace : siquidem intelligimus hanc linguam : et non loquaris nobis judaice, audiente populo qui est super murum.
Vulgate
καὶ εἶπεν Ἐλιακεὶμ υἱὸς Χελκείου καὶ Σόμνας καὶ Ἰώας πρὸς Ῥαψάκην Λάλησον δὴ πρὸς τοὺς παῖδάς σου Συριστί· ἀκούομεν ἡμεῖς, καὶ οὐ λαλήσεις μεθ’ ἡμῶν Ἰουδαιστί· καὶ ἵνα τί λαλεῖς ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶν τοῦ λαοῦ τοῦ ἐπὶ τοῦ τείχους;
LXX
Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not with us in the Jews’ language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
