2 Samuel 6:22

And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.

KJV

et ludam, et vilior fiam plus quam factus sum : et ero humilis in oculis meis, et cum ancillis de quibus locuta es, gloriosior apparebo.

Vulgate

καὶ ἀποκαλυφθήσομαι ἔτι οὕτως, καὶ ἔσομαι ἀχρεῖος ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου, καὶ μετὰ τῶν παιδισκῶν ὧν εἶπάς με δοξασθῆναι.

LXX

And I will be yet more vile than this, and will be base in mine own sight: but of the handmaids of whom thou hast spoken, of them shall I be had in honor.
