2 Samuel 20:1

And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.

KJV

Accidit quoque ut ibi esset vir Belial, nomine Seba, filius Bochri, vir Jemineus : et cecinit buccina, et ait : Non est nobis pars in David, neque hæreditas in filio Isai : revertere in tabernacula tua, Israël.

Vulgate

Καὶ ἐκεῖ ἐπικαλούμενος υἱὸς παράνομος καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Σάβεε, υἱὸς Βοχορεί, ἀνὴρ ὁ Ἱεμενεί· καὶ ἐσάλπισεν τῇ κερατίνῃ καὶ εἶπεν Οὐκ ἔστιν ἡμῖν μερὶς ἐν Δαυεὶδ οὐδὲ κληρονομία ἡμῖν ἐν τῷ υἱῷ Ἰεσσαί· ἀνὴρ εἰς τὰ σκηνώματά σου, Ἰσραήλ.

LXX

And there happened to be there a base fellow, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew the trumpet, and said, We have no portion in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.
