KJV
ita tamen ut prius ascenderent et flerent coram Domino usque ad noctem, consulerentque eum, et dicerent : Debeo ultra procedere ad dimicandum contra filios Benjamin fratres meos, an non ? Quibus ille respondit : Ascendite ad eos, et inite certamen.
Vulgate
καὶ ἀνέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἔκλαυσαν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου ἕως ἑσπέρας, καὶ ἠρώτησαν ἐν Κυρίῳ λέγοντες Εἰ προσθῶμεν ἐγγίσαι εἰς παράταξιν πρὸς υἱοὺς Βενιαμεὶν ἀδελφοὺς ἡμῶν; καὶ εἶπεν Κύριος Ἀνάβητε πρὸς αὐτούς.
LXX
And the children of Israel went up and wept before Jehovah until even; and they asked of Jehovah, saying, Shall I again draw nigh to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And Jehovah said, Go up against him.
