2 Samuel 24:17
And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father’s house.
KJV
Dixitque David ad Dominum cum vidisset angelum cædentem populum : Ego sum qui peccavi, ego inique egi : isti qui oves sunt, quid fecerunt ? vertatur, obsecro, manus tua contra me, et contra domum patris mei.
Vulgate
καὶ εἶπεν Δαυεὶδ πρὸς Κύριον, ἐν τῷ ἰδεῖν αὐτὸν τὸν ἄγγελον τύπτοντα ἐν τῷ λαῷ, καὶ εἶπεν Ἰδοὺ ἐγώ εἰμι ἠδίκησα, καὶ οὗτοι τὰ πρόβατα τί ἐποίησαν; γενέσθω δὴ ἡ χείρ σου ἐν ἐμοὶ καὶ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρός μου.
LXX
And David spake unto Jehovah when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done perversely; but these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father’s house.
