Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Some words not found in UHB: and,someone drew on,bow to,innocence_of,his and,he_struck DOM king Yisrael between the,scales and=between the_body,armor and=he/it_said to,charioteer_of,his turn hand_of,your and,take,me_out from/more_than the,camp that/for/because/then/when wounded )

The author is using drew with the bow as a common expression of his culture to mean “shot an arrow.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [shot an arrow]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

לְ⁠תֻמּ֔⁠וֹ

to,innocence_of,his

The author is using in his innocence as a common expression of his culture to mean “without knowing at whom he was shooting” or “without aiming intentionally.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [at random] or [without aiming]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

בֵּ֥ין הַ⁠דְּבָקִ֖ים וּ⁠בֵ֣ין הַ⁠שִּׁרְיָ֑ן

(Some words not found in UHB: and,someone drew on,bow to,innocence_of,his and,he_struck DOM king Yisrael between the,scales and=between the_body,armor and=he/it_said to,charioteer_of,his turn hand_of,your and,take,me_out from/more_than the,camp that/for/because/then/when wounded )

The terms joints and armor together express a single idea. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning in a different way. Alternate translation: [between the joints of his armor]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

הֲפֹ֥ךְ יָדְ⁠ךָ֛ וְ⁠הוֹצִיאֵ֥⁠נִי מִן־הַֽ⁠מַּחֲנֶ֖ה כִּ֥י הָחֳלֵֽיתִי

turn hand_of,your and,take,me_out from/more_than (Some words not found in UHB: and,someone drew on,bow to,innocence_of,his and,he_struck DOM king Yisrael between the,scales and=between the_body,armor and=he/it_said to,charioteer_of,his turn hand_of,your and,take,me_out from/more_than the,camp that/for/because/then/when wounded )

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [I am wounded, so turn your hand and bring me out from the camp]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

הֲפֹ֥ךְ יָדְ⁠ךָ֛

turn hand_of,your

Here, hand represents the driver’s direction or control of the chariot. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Turn the chariot around]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מִן־הַֽ⁠מַּחֲנֶ֖ה

from/more_than (Some words not found in UHB: and,someone drew on,bow to,innocence_of,his and,he_struck DOM king Yisrael between the,scales and=between the_body,armor and=he/it_said to,charioteer_of,his turn hand_of,your and,take,me_out from/more_than the,camp that/for/because/then/when wounded )

Here, the camp represents the soldiers who would stay in a camp near a battlefield. Ahab wants his driver to bring him out from the midst of the army, but the context makes clear that he wants to stay on the battlefield, though at a safe distance from the fighting. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [from the ranks] or [from the midst of our soldiers]
