1 Samuel 3:16
Hebrew Bible
15 So Samuel lay down until morning. Then he opened the doors of the Lord’s house. But Samuel was afraid to tell Eli about the vision. 16 However, Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son!” He replied, “Here I am.” 17 Eli said, “What message did he speak to you? Don’t conceal it from me. God will judge you severely if you conceal from me anything that he said to you!”

Septuagint
15 And Samuel slept until morning, and he rose early in the morning and opened the doors of the house of the Lord. Samuel was afraid to share his vision with Eli. 16 And Eli said to Samuel, “Samuel, child.” And he said, “Here I am.” 17 And he said, “What was the word spoken to you? Now do not hide from me, so that God might do to you if you hide from me even a word from the entire message that he spoke to you in your ear.”

Notes and References
"... 1 Samuel 3:16 includes the address “my child” though Samuel is not really a descendant of Eli. Whereas the Targum does not see the necessity for corrections, the Septuagint writes only τέκνον ('child'). From a hermeneutical point of view, the text must, as far as possible without major corrections, meet the requirement of factual correctness ..."
