The author is using a common expression of his culture. See how you translated this in 4:7. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [previously] or [in the past]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠הִנֵּ֥ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was all/each/any/every [one_of,who]_knew_him from,yesterday before and=they_saw and=see/lo/see! with prophets prophesied and=he/it_said the,people (a)_man to/towards his/its=neighbour what? this it_became to,the_son_of Qīsh ?,also Shāʼūl/(Saul) among,prophets )

In this context, the word behold both calls attention to what the author is about to describe and indicates that what the people saw was surprising to them. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [much to their surprise]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אִ֣ישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵ֗⁠הוּ

(a)_man to/towards his/its=neighbour

The author is using a common expression of his culture that describes individuals speaking to one another. 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: [to one another]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הֲ⁠גַ֥ם שָׁא֖וּל בַּ⁠נְּבִיאִֽים

?,also (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was all/each/any/every [one_of,who]_knew_him from,yesterday before and=they_saw and=see/lo/see! with prophets prophesied and=he/it_said the,people (a)_man to/towards his/its=neighbour what? this it_became to,the_son_of Qīsh ?,also Shāʼūl/(Saul) among,prophets )

The people are using the question form to express surprise and amazement. If speakers of your language would not use a question for this purpose, you could translate this as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [It is hard to believe that Saul has become one of the prophets!]
