אַחְאָ֕ב עָבַ֥ד אֶת־הַבַּ֖עַל מְעָ֑ט יֵה֖וּא יַעַבְדֶ֥נּוּ הַרְבֵּֽה
ʼAḩʼāⱱ served DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_gathered Yēhūʼ/(Jehu) DOM all/each/any/every the,people and=he/it_said to,them ʼAḩʼāⱱ served DOM (the),Baal a_little Yēhūʼ/(Jehu) he,will_serve_him much )
When Jehu says that Ahab served Baal only a little, he is making an understatement in order to draw a comparison. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express this comparison. Alternate translation: [Compared to how much I am going to serve Baal, Ahab served him only a little]

Jehu is speaking of himself in the third person because he is making an authoritative proclamation. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: [I will serve him much]

וַיִּקְבֹּ֤ץ יֵהוּא֙ אֶת־כָּל־הָעָ֔ם וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֔ם

The author is saying all of the people as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [And Jehu called for a citywide meeting, and he said to the people]

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.
