2 Samuel 17:16

Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him.

KJV

Nunc ergo mittite cito, et nuntiate David, dicentes : Ne moreris nocte hac in campestribus deserti, sed absque dilatione transgredere : ne forte absorbeatur rex, et omnis populus qui cum eo est.

Vulgate

καὶ νῦν ἀποστείλατε ταχὺ καὶ ἀναγγείλατε τῷ Δαυεὶδ λέγοντες Μὴ αὐλισθῇς τὴν νύκτα ἐν ἀραβὼθ τῆς ἐρήμου, καί γε διαβαίνων σπεῦσον, μή ποτε καταπείσῃ τὸν βασιλέα καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν τὸν μετ’ αὐτοῦ.

LXX

Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him.
