(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said uncle_of Shāʼūl/(Saul)'s to=him/it and,to servant_of,his where go and=he/it_said to,seek DOM the,she-asses and,we_saw that not and,we_went to/towards Shəmūʼēl/(Samuel) )
The pronoun he refers to Saul. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [And Saul said]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said uncle_of Shāʼūl/(Saul)'s to=him/it and,to servant_of,his where go and=he/it_said to,seek DOM the,she-asses and,we_saw that not and,we_went to/towards Shəmūʼēl/(Samuel) )
The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [And we saw that they were not in any of the places where we looked]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go
וַנָּב֖וֹא אֶל־שְׁמוּאֵֽל
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said uncle_of Shāʼūl/(Saul)'s to=him/it and,to servant_of,his where go and=he/it_said to,seek DOM the,she-asses and,we_saw that not and,we_went to/towards Shəmūʼēl/(Samuel) )
In this context, your language might say “went” instead of came. Alternate translation: [so we went to Samuel]

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.
