Joshua 24:12

And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; but not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.

KJV

Misique ante vos crabrones : et ejeci eos de locis suis, duos reges Amorrhæorum, non in gladio nec in arcu tuo.

Vulgate

καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν προτέραν ἡμῶν τὴν σφηκίαν, καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου ἡμῶν, δώδεκα βασιλεῖς τῶν Ἀμορραίων, οὐκ ἐν τῇ ῥομφαίᾳ σου οὐδὲ ἐν τῷ τόξῳ σου.

LXX

And I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.
