2 Samuel 17:3

And I will bring back all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: so all the people shall be in peace.

KJV

Et reducam universum populum, quomodo unus homo reverti solet : unum enim virum tu quæris : et omnis populus erit in pace.

Vulgate

καὶ ἐπιστρέψω πάντα τὸν λαὸν πρὸς σέ, ὃν τρόπον ἐπιστρέφει ἡ νύμφη πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς· πλὴν ψυχὴν ἑνὸς ἀνδρὸς σὺ ζητεῖς, καὶ παντὶ τῷ λαῷ ἔσται ἐν εἰρήνῃ.

LXX

and I will bring back all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: so all the people shall be in peace.
