1 Samuel 3:5

3:5 Then he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But Eli ¹  said, “I didn’t call you. Go back and lie down.” So he went back and lay down.

1 Samuel 15:18

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.’

[3:5]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Eli) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[15:18]  ² tn Heb “journey.”

[15:18]  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”).
