The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Nunc ergo facite : quoniam Dominus locutus est ad David, dicens : In manu servi mei David salvabo populum meum Israël de manu Philisthiim, et omnium inimicorum ejus.
Septuagint (Swete): καὶ νῦν ποιήσατε, ὅτι Κύριος ἐλάλησεν περὶ Δαυεὶδ λέγων Ἐν χειρὶ τοῦ δούλου μου Δαυεὶδ σώσω τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ χειρὸς ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν.
Hebrew (WLC): וְעַתָּ֖ה עֲשׂ֑וּ כִּ֣י יְהוָ֗ה אָמַ֤ר אֶל דָּוִד֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר בְּיַ֣ד דָּוִ֣ד עַבְדִּ֗י הוֹשִׁ֜יעַ אֶת עַמִּ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ מִיַּ֣ד פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים וּמִיַּ֖ד כָּל אֹיְבֵיהֶֽם

Haydock's commentary

Enemies. We read not of this promise elsewhere. But how many other things are omitted in the sacred books? (Calmet)

Abner alleges God's decree, that he may not be deemed a traitor. (Cajetan)
