1 Samuel 9:24
Hebrew Bible
22 Then Samuel brought Saul and his servant into the room and gave them a place at the head of those who had been invited. There were about thirty people present. 23 Samuel said to the cook, “Give me the portion of meat that I gave to you—the one I asked you to keep with you.” 24 So the cook picked up the leg and brought it and set it in front of Saul. Samuel said, “What was kept is now set before you! Eat, for it has been kept for you for this meeting time, from the time I said, ‘I have invited the people.’” So Saul ate with Samuel that day. 25 When they came down from the high place to the town, Samuel spoke with Saul on the roof. 26 They got up at dawn and Samuel called to Saul on the roof, “Get up, so I can send you on your way.” So Saul got up and the two of them—he and Samuel—went outside.

LXX 1 Samuel 9:24
Septuagint
22 Then Samuel took Saul and his servant and led them into the lodging and set for them there a place among the first of those who had been invited, about seventy men. 23 And Samuel said to the cook, “Give me the portion that I gave to you, the one that I told you to put to the side.” 24 The cook boiled the thigh and set it before Saul, and Samuel said to Saul, “Here is what is left. Set it before you and eat, for it has been set before you for a testimony beside the others; tear off.” And Saul ate with Samuel on that day. 25 He went down from Bama into the city, and they spread a bed for Saul on the roof, and he fell asleep. 26 And it happened as dawn arose that Samuel called Saul on the roof, saying, “Stand up, and I will send you out.” Saul got up, and then he and Samuel went outside.

Notes and References
"... it is much more likely that the scribe was influenced by the quoted expression, while interchanging the graphically similar letters Λ/Ν. For a similar instance, see the analysis of 1 Samuel 9:24 ... The use of the LXX in the text-critical study of the Hebrew Bible requires constant reference to the presumably original readings of the LXX. As a rule, such readings are selected from the extant variants, but sometimes they are reconstructed by way of emendation ... Three examples follow: 1 Samuel 9:24; Jeremiah 38(45):22; Jeremiah 49:10 (29:11) ..."
