Your translation does match up with what Brenton presents in his LXX,
however, it does not match up with what the Hebrew Text presents. The
translations you mentioned above are based off the Hebrew Text and it
appears that the LXX is either using a different Hebrew text than the MT
or is possibly feeling that this is a proper way of interpreting what the
MT is saying. There are several instances where the LXX and the MT are
different. Why? That is a good question and one that is open for
debate.
