OET (OET-RV) because David had done what Yahweh had said was correct, and throughout his life he hadn’t deviated from what Yahweh had instructed him, except in the matter concerning Uriyah the Hittite.

אֶת־הַיָּשָׁ֖ר
DOM (Some words not found in UHB: which/who he/it_had_made Dāvid DOM the,right in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH and=not turn_aside from=all which/who he,had_commanded_him all days_of his/its=life only in,the_matter_of ʼŪriyyāh the,Hittite )
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of right, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [what was right]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה
(Some words not found in UHB: which/who he/it_had_made Dāvid DOM the,right in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH and=not turn_aside from=all which/who he,had_commanded_him all days_of his/its=life only in,the_matter_of ʼŪriyyāh the,Hittite )
See how you translated the similar expression in [3:10](../03/10.md). Alternate translation: [in the judgment of Yahweh]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְלֹֽא־סָ֞ר מִכֹּ֣ל אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּ֗הוּ
and=not turn_aside (Some words not found in UHB: which/who he/it_had_made Dāvid DOM the,right in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH and=not turn_aside from=all which/who he,had_commanded_him all days_of his/its=life only in,the_matter_of ʼŪriyyāh the,Hittite )
The author is speaking as if David could actually have turned from Yahweh’s commands, as if he had been walking in one direction but then turned to walk in a different direction. The author means that David did not disobey Yahweh’s commands. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and he had not disobeyed anything that he had commanded him.]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
כֹּ֚ל יְמֵ֣י חַיָּ֔יו
(Some words not found in UHB: which/who he/it_had_made Dāvid DOM the,right in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH and=not turn_aside from=all which/who he,had_commanded_him all days_of his/its=life only in,the_matter_of ʼŪriyyāh the,Hittite )
The author is using the term days to refer to a specific time, the lifetime of David. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [during his whole lifetime]
OET (OET-LV) That he_had_done Dāvid DOM the_right in/on_both_eyes_of YHWH and_not he_had_turned_aside from_all that he_had_commanded_him all_of the_days_of his/its_life only in_the_matter_of ʼŪriyyāh the_Ḩittiy.
OET (OET-RV) because David had done what Yahweh had said was correct, and throughout his life he hadn’t deviated from what Yahweh had instructed him, except in the matter concerning Uriyah the Hittite.
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.
