2 Kings 5:12

Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.

KJV

Numquid non meliores sunt Abana et Pharphar fluvii Damasci, omnibus aquis Israël, ut laver in eis, et munder ? Cum ergo vertisset se, et abiret indignans,

Vulgate

οὐχὶ ἀγαθὸς Ἀβανὰ καὶ Ἀφαρφὰ ποταμοὶ Δαμασκοῦ ὑπὲρ πάντα τὰ ὕδατα Ἰσραὴλ; οὐχὶ πορευθεὶς λούσομαι ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ καθαρισθήσομαι; καὶ ἐξέκλινεν καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἐν θυμῷ.

LXX

Are not Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.
