The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Dixit autem rex ad Ethai Gethæum : Cur venis nobiscum ? revertere, et habita cum rege, quia peregrinus es, et egressus es de loco tuo.
Septuagint (Swete): καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Σεθθεὶ τὸν Γεθθαῖον Ἵνα τί πορεύῃ καὶ σὺ μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν; ἐπίστρεφε καὶ οἴκει μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως, ὅτι ξένος εἶ σὺ καὶ ὅτι μετῴκηκας σὺ ἐκ τοῦ τόπου σου.
Hebrew (WLC): וַיֹּ֤אמֶר הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ אֶל אִתַּ֣י הַגִּתִּ֔י לָ֧מָּה תֵלֵ֛ךְ גַּם אַתָּ֖ה אִתָּ֑נוּ שׁ֣וּב וְשֵׁ֤ב עִם הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ כִּֽי נָכְרִ֣י אַ֔תָּה וְגַם גֹּלֶ֥ה אַתָּ֖ה לִמְקוֹמֶֽךָ

Haydock's commentary

Ethai. Many assert that he was the son of Achis, and had embraced the true religion. (Menochius)

King; Absalom, who will not molest you. (Haydock)

Some translate the Hebrew, "Return from the king." (Syriac [and] Arabic)
