Note 1 topic: writing-participants
אֲבִימֶֽלֶךְ
ʼAⱱīmelek
The author is introducing Abimelek as a new participant in the story. He will be the main character in Chapter 9. If your language has its own way of introducing new participants, you can use it here in your translation.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אֲבִימֶֽלֶךְ
ʼAⱱīmelek
The author could assume that his original audience would know that the Hebrew name Abimelek means “my father is king.” While Gideon had refused to become the actual king of Israel, he may have given this name to his son to suggest that he was, in a sense, a king, since he had been offered the kingship. Unfortunately this seems to have made Abimelek ambitious to become an actual king, with disastrous consequences, as Chapter 9 describes. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate the meaning of this name explicitly in your translation. Alternate translation: [Abimelek, which means ‘my father is king’]
8:31 concubine: See study note on 19:1.

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.
