1 Samuel 24:2
Rocks of the wild goats - The original ( tsurey haiyeelim ) is variously understood. The Vulgate makes a paraphrase: Super abruptissimas petras quae solis ibicibus perviae sunt ; "On the most precipitous rocks over which the ibexes alone can travel." The Targum: the caverns of the rocks. The Septuagint make the original a proper name; for out of tsurey haiyeelim , they make Saddaiem , and in some copies Aeiamein , which are evidently corruptions of the Hebrew.
