Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
every man of Israel was gathered
(Some words not found in UHB: and,gathered all/each/any/every (a)_man Yisrael to/towards the=city as,man one(ms) united )
The author is using an overstatement to emphasize how many Israelite men came. Not literally every man came, but a very large number did. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “a great number of Israelite men were gathered”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
was gathered
(Some words not found in UHB: and,gathered all/each/any/every (a)_man Yisrael to/towards the=city as,man one(ms) united )
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “gathered”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
as one man, associates
(Some words not found in UHB: and,gathered all/each/any/every (a)_man Yisrael to/towards the=city as,man one(ms) united )
The terms as one man and associates mean similar things. The author is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “in complete unity of purpose”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
as one man
(Some words not found in UHB: and,gathered all/each/any/every (a)_man Yisrael to/towards the=city as,man one(ms) united )
See how you translated the same expression in 20:1.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
