1 Samuel 15:17-18
15:17 Samuel said, “Is it not true that when you were insignificant in your own eyes, you became head of the tribes of Israel? The Lord chose 1 you as king over Israel.
15:18 The Lord sent you on a campaign 2 saying, ‘Go and exterminate those sinful Amalekites! Fight against them until you 3 have destroyed them.’
1 tn Heb “anointed.”
2 tn Heb “journey.”
3 tc The translation follows the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, and the Targum in reading the second person singular suffix (“you”) rather than the third person plural suffix of the MT (“they”).
