Judges 12:4

Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the Manassites.

KJV

Vocatis itaque ad se cunctis viris Galaad, pugnabat contra Ephraim : percusseruntque viri Galaad Ephraim, quia dixerat : Fugitivus est Galaad de Ephraim, et habitat in medio Ephraim et Manasse.

Vulgate

καὶ συνέστρεψεν Ἰεφθάε τοὺς πάντας ἄνδρας Γαλαὰδ καὶ παρετάξατο τῷ Ἐφράιμ· καὶ ἐπάταξαν ἄνδρες Γαλαὰδ τὸν Ἐφράιμ, ὅτι εἶπαν οἱ διασωζόμενοι τοῦ Ἐφράιμ Ὑμεῖς Γαλαὰδ ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ Ἐφράιμ καὶ ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ Μανασσή.

LXX

Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye are fugitives of Ephraim, ye Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim, and in the midst of Manasseh.
