καὶ ἐγενήθη μετὰ τὰ τρία ἔτη καὶ ἀπέδρασαν δύο δοῦλοι τοῦ Σεμεεὶ πρὸς Ἀγχοὺς υἱὸν Ἀμησὰ βασιλέα Γέθ· καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σεμεεὶ λέγοντες Ἰδοὺ οἱ δοῦλοί σου ἐν Γέθ.

Haydock's commentary

Servants. Two in number; (Hebrew; Septuagint) perhaps originally from Geth; (Menochius) to the king of which place David had fled, 44 years before. (Abulensis, q. 44.)
