Vulgate (Clementine)
Ut verterem figuram sermonis hujus, servus tuus Joab præcepit istud : tu autem, domine mi rex, sapiens es, sicut habet sapientiam angelus Dei, ut intelligas omnia super terram.
Septuagint (Swete)
ἕνεκεν τοῦ περιελθεῖν τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ ῥήματος τούτου ὃ ἐποίησεν ὁ δοῦλός σου Ἰωάβ, τὸν δόλον τοῦτον· καὶ ὁ κύριός μου σοφὸς καθὼς σοφία ἀγγέλου τοῦ θεοῦ, τοῦ γνῶναι πάντα τὰ ἐν τῇ γῇ.
