OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said to_the_king_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) make_ride hand_of_your on the_bow and_he_made_ride his/its_hand and_ ʼElīshāˊ _he/it_assigned hands_of_his on the_hands_of the_king.
OET (OET-RV) and he’d told Yisrael’s king, “Grab the bow ready to draw.” So he did that, and then Elisha put his hands over the king’s hands.

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to,the_king_of Yisrael lay hand_of,your on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,bow and,he_made_ride his/its=hand and=he/it_assigned ʼElīshāˊ hands_of,his on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in hands_of of,the_king )
Elisha is using Make your hand ride on the bow as a common expression of his culture to mean “Grasp the bow with your left hand.” (The context indicates that the king understood that he should also grasp the bowstring with his right hand.) 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: [Take the bow in your hands] or [Hold the bow in readiness to shoot an arrow]

The author is using the same common expression as Jehoash. Alternate translation: [And he took the bow in his hands]

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.
