1 Kings 3:17
And he asked him: What is the word that the Lord hath spoken to thee? I beseech thee hide it not from me. May God do so and so to thee, and add so and so, if thou hide from me one word of all that were said to thee.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Et interrogavit eum : Quis est sermo, quem locutus est Dominus ad te ? oro te ne celaveris me : hæc faciat tibi Deus, et hæc addat, si absconderis a me sermonem ex omnibus verbis quæ dicta sunt tibi.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ εἶπεν Τί τὸ ῥῆμα τὸ λαληθὲν πρὸς σέ; μὴ δὴ κρύψῃς ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ· τάδε ποιήσαι σοι ὁ θεός, ἐὰν κρύψῃς ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ ῥῆμα ἐκ πάντων λόγων τῶν λαληθέντων σοι ἐν τοῖς ὠσίν σου.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וַיֹּ֗אמֶר מָ֤ה הַדָּבָר֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר דִּבֶּ֣ר אֵלֶ֔יךָ אַל נָ֥א תְכַחֵ֖ד מִמֶּ֑נִּי כֹּ֣ה יַעֲשֶׂה לְּךָ֤ אֱלֹהִים֙ וְכֹ֣ה יוֹסִ֔יף אִם תְּכַחֵ֤ד מִמֶּ֨נִּי֙ דָּבָ֔ר מִכָּל הַדָּבָ֖ר אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּ֥ר אֵלֶֽיךָ
Haydock's commentary
And so. Literally, "May God do these things to thee, and add these also." It is not certain that he mentioned the particular punishment, (Haydock) though it is most probable. The Scripture refrains from repeating them. (Grotius)

The Fathers on this verse
St Augustine Expositions on the Book of Psalms, Psalm LXXXIX
19. “Thou spakest sometime in vision unto Thy sons, and saidst” ( ver. 19 ). Thou spakest in thy vision. Thou didst reveal this to Thy Prophets. For this reason Thou spakest in vision, that is, in revelation: whence Prophets were called seers. They saw something within, which they were to speak without: and secretly they heard what they preached openly. Then “Thou spakest in vision unto Thy sons, and saidst, I have laid help upon One that is mighty.” Ye understand Who is meant by mighty? “I have exalted One chosen out of the people.” And Who is meant by chosen? One who, ye rejoice, is already exalted.
