2 Kings 2:17

And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.

KJV

Coëgeruntque eum donec acquiesceret, et diceret : Mittite. Et miserunt quinquaginta viros : qui cum quæsissent tribus diebus, non invenerunt.

Vulgate

καὶ παρεβιάσαντο αὐτὸν ἕως οὗ ᾐσχύνετο, καὶ εἶπεν Ἀποστείλατε. καὶ ἀπέστειλαν πεντήκοντα ἄνδρας, καὶ ἐζήτησαν τρεῖς ἡμέρας, καὶ οὐχ εὗρον αὐτόν.

LXX

And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.
