Judges 20:6

And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel: for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel.

KJV

Quam arreptam, in frustra concidi, misique partes in omnes terminos possessionis vestræ : quia numquam tantum nefas, et tam grande piaculum, factum est in Israël.

Vulgate

καὶ ἐκράτησα τὴν παλλακήν μου καὶ ἐμέλισα αὐτήν, καὶ ἀπέστειλα ἐν παντὶ ὁρίῳ κληρονομίας υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, ὅτι ἐποίησαν ζέμα καὶ ἀπόπτωμα ἐν Ἰσραήλ.

LXX

And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel.
