2 Samuel 18:2

And David sent forth a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also.

KJV

et dedit populi tertiam partem sub manu Joab, et tertiam partem sub manu Abisai filii Sarviæ fratris Joab, et tertiam partem sub manu Ethai, qui erat de Geth. Dixitque rex ad populum : Egrediar et ego vobiscum.

Vulgate

καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Δαυεὶδ τὸν λαὸν τὸ τρίτον ἐν χειρὶ Ἰωάβ, καὶ τὸ τρίτον ἐν χειρὶ Ἀβεισὰ υἱοῦ Σαρουίας ἀδελφοῦ Ἰωάβ, καὶ τὸ τρίτον ἐν χειρὶ Ἐθθεὶ τοῦ Γεθθαίου· καὶ εἶπεν Δαυεὶδ πρὸς τὸν λαόν Ἐξελθὼν ἐξελεύσομαι καί γε ἐγὼ μεθ’ ὑμῶν.

LXX
