OET (OET-RV) A man of God approached Yisrael’s (Israel’s) king and told him, “Yahweh says that the Arameans have been saying that he’s a god of the hills, but not of the valleys. Because of that, he’s going to help you defeat this huge army, and then you’ll know that Yahweh is God.”

There are three levels of quotation here. The author is quoting what the man of God said to Ahab. (level 1). The man of God is quoting what Yahweh told him to tell Ahab. (level 2). This includes a quotation of something that the Arameans have said previously (level 3). Use the appropriate punctuation in your language to mark these levels of quotation. Alternatively, you could translate this so that there is not a second-level or third-level quotation.

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [Yahweh says that because Aram has said that he is a god of hills but not a god of valleys, he will give all of this great multitude into your hand, and you will know that he is Yahweh]

Here, hand represents the power of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [into your power]

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.
