OET (OET-LV) And_he_sent to_him/it Ben Hₐdad and_he/it_said thus may_they_do to_me the_gods and_thus may_they_add if it_will_suffice the_dust_of Shomrōn for_handfuls to/from_all/each/any/every the_people which is_at_feet_of_my.

OET (OET-RV) and Ben-Hadad sent another message, “The gods can do whatever they like to me and more if I leave enough dust in Shomron for all my prisoners to have a handful each.”[fn]

20:10 Most translations interpret ‘all the people at my feet’ to be Ben-Hadad’s (large) army (which appears to go back at least to the Vulgate ‘sequitur’), but we’ve TENTATIVELY interpreted it as his (future) prisoners/slaves.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-oathformula

כֹּֽה־יַעֲשׂ֥וּ⁠ן לִ֛⁠י אֱלֹהִ֖ים וְ⁠כֹ֣ה יוֹסִ֑פוּ אִם־יִשְׂפֹּק֙ עֲפַ֣ר שֹׁמְר֔וֹן לִ⁠שְׁעָלִ֕ים לְ⁠כָל־הָ⁠עָ֖ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּ⁠רַגְלָֽ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_sent to=him/it son_of -hₐdad and=he/it_said so may,they_do to=me ʼElohīm and,thus more if suffice dust_of Shomrōn for,handfuls to/from=all/each/any/every the,people which/who [is]_at,feet_of,my )

Following the custom of this culture, Ben Hadad is swearing an oath by stating a condition and the consequence he is asking the gods to make happen if the condition is met. He is stating the consequence before the condition. If it would be helpful to your readers, in your translation, you could state the condition before the consequence. See how you translated the similar expression in [19:2](../19/02.md). Alternate translation: [If the dust of Samaria is enough for handfuls for all of the people who are at my feet, thus may the gods do to me, and thus may they add]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠כֹ֣ה יוֹסִ֑פוּ

and,thus more

See how you translated the similar expression “and thus may he add” in [2:23](../02/23.md). Alternate translation: [and may they do even worse]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הָ⁠עָ֖ם

the,people

In this context, the term people refers to the soldiers in Ahab’s army. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [the soldiers]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּ⁠רַגְלָֽ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_sent to=him/it son_of -hₐdad and=he/it_said so may,they_do to=me ʼElohīm and,thus more if suffice dust_of Shomrōn for,handfuls to/from=all/each/any/every the,people which/who [is]_at,feet_of,my )

Ben Hadad is using his feet to represent his soldiers walking where he has just walked. In other words, they are following him, and this represents that he is their military commander. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. If you have already translated the book of Judges, see how you translated the similar expression in [Judges 4:10](../jdg/04/10.md). Alternate translation: [who are under my command]

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.
