Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וּמִ֨י יִתֵּ֜ן אֶת־הָעָ֤ם הַזֶּה֙ בְּיָדִ֔י
and,who? he/it_gave DOM the,people the=this in/on/at/with,command,my
The question who will give was a characteristic way for a Hebrew speaker to introduce a wish. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this question as a statement or exclamation expressing a wish. Alternate translation: [I wish that someone would give this people into my hand!]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / apostrophe
וַיֹּ֨אמֶר֙ לַאֲבִימֶ֔לֶךְ רַבֶּ֥ה צְבָאֲךָ֖ וָצֵֽאָה
and=he/it_said to,Abimelech increase army,your and,come_out,
Gaal is speaking to Abimelek even though he is not present and cannot hear him. Gaal is doing this to show in a strong way how he feels about Abimelek. He is actually speaking to the people who can hear him, the others who are present at this feast. If your readers might not understand why Gaal is speaking to someone who is not present, you could translate his words as if he were speaking directly to others who are present. You could also describe what Gaal is doing here, as the UST does. Alternate translation, continuing the direct quotation: “I would fight against him and his whole army and defeat him!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
רַבֶּ֥ה צְבָאֲךָ֖
increase army,your
Gaal is probably not saying that Abimelek should seek a larger number of troops than are already at his disposal. He is probably saying that even if Abimelek summoned all of the men who would willingly serve in his army, he would not be afraid to fight a battle with him. (Abimelek probably ordinarily traveled with just a small number of bodyguards, and Gaal is boasting that he could defeat a much larger force than that.) You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [mobilize your forces]
9:1-57 The reign of Abimelech was the turning point between the comparative rest of the early period of judges (3:7–8:35) and the decline of the later years (10:1–16:31).
OET (OET-LV) And_who will_he_give DOM the_people the_this in/on/at/with_command_my and_remove DOM ʼAⱱīmelek and_he/it_said to_ʼAⱱīmelek make_numerous army_your and_come_out.
OET (OET-RV) Who will fight with me to defeat those people and depose Abimelek? Then he said to Abimelek, ‘Gather your army and come and fight.’ ”
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.
