- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Nunc ergo mittite cito, et nuntiate David, dicentes : Ne moreris nocte hac in campestribus deserti, sed absque dilatione transgredere : ne forte absorbeatur rex, et omnis populus qui cum eo est.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ νῦν ἀποστείλατε ταχὺ καὶ ἀναγγείλατε τῷ Δαυεὶδ λέγοντες Μὴ αὐλισθῇς τὴν νύκτα ἐν ἀραβὼθ τῆς ἐρήμου, καί γε διαβαίνων σπεῦσον, μή ποτε καταπείσῃ τὸν βασιλέα καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν τὸν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ.
