2 Samuel 3:21

KJV
Et dixit Abner ad David : Surgam, ut congregem ad te dominum meum regem omnem Israël, et ineam tecum fœdus, et imperes omnibus, sicut desiderat anima tua. Cum ergo deduxisset David Abner, et ille isset in pace,
Vulgate
καὶ εἶπεν Ἀβεννὴρ πρὸς Δαυείδ Ἀναστήσομαι δὴ καὶ πορεύσομαι, καὶ συναθροίσω πρὸς κύριόν μου τὸν βασιλέα πάντα Ἰσραήλ, καὶ διαθήσομαι μετ’ αὐτοῦ διαθήκην, καὶ βασιλεύσεις ἐπὶ πᾶσιν οἷς ἐπιθυμεῖ ἡ ψυχή σου. καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Δαυεὶδ τὸν Ἀβεννήρ, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν εἰρήνῃ.
LXX
