2 Samuel 23:4
And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.
KJV
sicut lux auroræ, oriente sole, mane absque nubibus rutilat : et sicut pluviis germinat herba de terra.
Vulgate
καὶ ἐν θεῷ φωτὶ πρωίας ἀνατείλαι ἥλιος, τὸ πρωὶ οὐ Κύριος παρῆλθεν ἐκ φέγγους· καὶ ὡς ἐξ ὑετοῦ χλόης ἀπὸ γῆς.
LXX
He shall beas the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, A morning without clouds, Whenthe tender grassspringeth out of the earth, Through clear shining after rain.
