1 Samuel 15:17-18

Context
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”).
