The closest I could find to that is 2 Samuel 3:38, King James Version: "Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?"
By the way, you can search various Bible translations for phrases and keywords at http://www.biblegateway.com/
Here's the passage, with a bit of context:
35 And when all the people came to cause David to eat meat while it was yet day, David sware, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or ought else, till the sun be down.
36 And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them: as whatsoever the king did pleased all the people.
37 For all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.
38 And the king said unto his servants,
Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?
39 And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah be too hard for me: the LORD shall reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness.
God bless.

Actually, it's from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson, President of USA.
In a letter to Dr. Walter Jones recounting the life of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson ended his letter with these words, “I felt on his death, with my fellow countrymen that verily a great man hath fallen this day in Israel.”
The biblical version is a bit different. Here are the references :
NASB: Then the king said to his servants, "Do you not know that a prince and a great man has fallen this day in Israel?
(NASB ©1995)GWT: The king said to his officers, "Don't you know that today a leader, a great man, has fallen in Israel?
(GOD'S WORD®)KJV: And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?
ASV: And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?
BBE: And the king said to his servants, Do you not see that a chief and a great man has come to his end today in Israel?
DBY: And the king said to his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?
JPS: And the king said unto his servants: 'Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?
WBS: And the king said to his servants, Know ye not that there hath a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?
WEB: The king said to his servants, "Don't you know that there a prince and a great man has fallen this day in Israel?
YLT: And the king saith unto his servants, 'Do ye not know that a prince and a great one hath fallen this day in Israel?
All the best!
