שִׁבְעַ֣ת אֲלָפִ֑ים
(Some words not found in UHB: and,I_will_leave among,Israel seven_of thousand all/each/any/every the,knees which/who not bowed to,Baal and=all (the),mouth which/who not kissed to=him/it )
The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [7,000 people]

שִׁבְעַ֣ת אֲלָפִ֑ים
(Some words not found in UHB: and,I_will_leave among,Israel seven_of thousand all/each/any/every the,knees which/who not bowed to,Baal and=all (the),mouth which/who not kissed to=him/it )
This may be a rounded or symbolic number. It was conventional in this culture to use the number seven and multiples of ten to indicate completeness. However, rather than represent the number 7,000 in your translation with a phrase such as “a full number of people,” we recommend that you express the number and explain its possible symbolic meaning in a footnote.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
כָּל־הַבִּרְכַּ֗יִם אֲשֶׁ֤ר לֹֽא־כָֽרְעוּ֙ לַבַּ֔עַל וְכָ֨ל־הַפֶּ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא־נָשַׁ֖ק לֽוֹ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,I_will_leave among,Israel seven_of thousand all/each/any/every the,knees which/who not bowed to,Baal and=all (the),mouth which/who not kissed to=him/it )
Yahweh is using part of people, their knees and mouth, to represent all of them in the action of remaining faithful to him and not worshiping Baal. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [all of the people who have not bowed their knees to Baal and everyone who has not kissed him with his mouth]
Note 4 topic: translate-symaction
כָּל־הַבִּרְכַּ֗יִם אֲשֶׁ֤ר לֹֽא־כָֽרְעוּ֙ לַבַּ֔עַל וְכָ֨ל־הַפֶּ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא־נָשַׁ֖ק לֽוֹ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,I_will_leave among,Israel seven_of thousand all/each/any/every the,knees which/who not bowed to,Baal and=all (the),mouth which/who not kissed to=him/it )
When people bowed to Baal and kissed his statue, these were symbolic actions by which they were expressing worship and devotion to Baal. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of these actions in the text of your translation or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [all of the people who have not bowed down to worship Baal and everyone who has not kissed his statue as an act of devotion]

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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
