uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וַ⁠יַּנַּ֖ח

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_spoke Shəmū^ʼēl/(Samuel) to/towards the,people DOM rights_of of,the_kingship and,he_wrote in,book and,he_set_[it] to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH and,he_sent_away Shəmū^ʼēl/(Samuel) DOM all/each/any/every the,people (a)_man to,his_own_of,house )

The author is speaking of the book as if it were a living thing that could be made to rest. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and he stored it]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לִ⁠פְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH

Here, to the face of Yahweh represents some place where the Israelites considered Yahweh to be present. The author probably means either Kiriath Jearim, where the ark was at this time, or Shiloh, where the sacred tent was at this time. Alternate translation: [in a place where Yahweh was present]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

אִ֥ישׁ לְ⁠בֵיתֽ⁠וֹ

(a)_man to,his_own_of,house

The author is speaking of one kind of dwelling, a house to represent homes of all kinds. (Some Israelites continued to live in tents.) If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar expression in 4:10. Alternate translation: [each one to his own home]
