2 Samuel 6:12

And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness.

KJV

Nuntiatumque est regi David quod benedixisset Dominus Obededom, et omnia ejus, propter arcam Dei. Abiit ergo David, et adduxit arcam Dei de domo Obededom in civitatem David cum gaudio : et erant cum David septem chori, et victima vituli.

Vulgate

Καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ βασιλεῖ Δαυεὶδ λέγοντες Ηὐλόγησεν Κύριος τὸν οἶκον Ἀβεδδαρὰ καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ ἕνεκεν τῆς κιβωτοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ· καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυεὶδ καὶ ἀνήγαγεν τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ κυρίου ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου Ἀβεδδαρὰ εἰς τὴν πόλιν Δαυεὶδ ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ.

LXX
