1 Samuel 2:23

2:23 He said to them, “Why do you behave in this way? For I hear about these evil things from all these ¹  people.

1 Samuel 8:7

8:7 The Lord said to Samuel, “Do everything the people request of you. ²  For it is not you that they have rejected, but it is me that they have rejected as their king.

[2:23]  ¹ tc For “these” the LXX has “of the Lord” (κυρίου, kuriou), perhaps through the influence of the final phrase of v. 24 (“the people of the Lord”). Somewhat less likely is the view that the MT reading is due to a distorted dittography of the first word of v. 24. The Vulgate lacks the word.

[8:7]  ² tn Heb “Listen to the voice of the people, to all which they say to you.”
