1 Kings 9:20
And as for the asses, which were lost three days ago, be not solicitous, because they are found. And for whom shall be all the best things of Israel? Shall they not be for thee and for all thy father's house?

- Et de asinis quas nudiustertius perdidisti, ne sollicitus sis, quia inventæ sunt. Et cujus erunt optima quæque Israël ? nonne tibi et omni domui patris tui ?
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ περὶ τῶν ὄνων σου τῶν ἀπολωλυιῶν σήμερον τριταίων, μὴ θῇς τὴν καρδίαν σου αὐταῖς, ὅτι εὕρηνται· καὶ τίνι τὰ ὡραῖα τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, οὐ σοὶ καὶ τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρός σου;

Haydock's commentary
Best. The regal power, which all desired. Hebrew, "to or on whom is all the desire of Israel?" Any great felicity is called a desire, as the Messias, the spouse in the Canticle [of Canticles], v. 16. (Aggeus ii. 8.) Septuagint, "to whom the beautiful things of Israel?"
