The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Persequentibus autem Joab et Abisai fugientem Abner, sol occubuit : et venerunt usque ad collem aquæductus, qui est ex adverso vallis itineris deserti in Gabaon.
Septuagint (Swete): καὶ κατεδίωξεν Ἰωὰβ καὶ Ἀβεσσὰ ὀπίσω Ἀβεννήρ, καὶ ὁ ἥλιος ἔδυνεν· καὶ αὐτοὶ εἰσῆλθον ἕως τοῦ βουνοῦ Ἀμμάν, ὅ ἐστιν ἐπὶ προσώπου Γαί, ὁδὸν ἔρημον Γαβαών.
Hebrew (WLC): וַֽיִּרְדְּפ֛וּ יוֹאָ֥ב וַאֲבִישַׁ֖י אַחֲרֵ֣י אַבְנֵ֑ר וְהַשֶּׁ֣מֶשׁ בָּ֔אָה וְהֵ֗מָּה בָּ֚אוּ עַד גִּבְעַ֣ת אַמָּ֔ה אֲשֶׁר֙ עַל פְּנֵי גִ֔יחַ דֶּ֖רֶךְ מִדְבַּ֥ר גִּבְעֽוֹן
