וְעַתָּ֗ה הִנֵּ֥ה הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּחַרְתֶּ֖ם אֲשֶׁ֣ר שְׁאֶלְתֶּ֑ם וְהִנֵּ֨ה נָתַ֧ן יְהוָ֛ה עֲלֵיכֶ֖ם מֶֽלֶךְ
(Some words not found in UHB: and=now see/lo/see! the=king which/who chosen which/who asked and=see/lo/see! he/it_gave YHWH over,you(pl) king )
Samuel is describing one event (the people seeing their king) before describing another event that preceded it (Yahweh giving them a king). If it would be helpful your language, you may wish to relate these events in the order in which they happened. Alternate translation: [And behold, Yahweh has given a king over you. So now, behold the king whom you have chosen, whom you have requested]

(Some words not found in UHB: and=now see/lo/see! the=king which/who chosen which/who asked and=see/lo/see! he/it_gave YHWH over,you(pl) king )
In the earlier instance of the term behold in this verse, Samuel actually does want the people to look at their king. But in this second instance, Samuel is using the term behold to call attention to and emphasize what he is about to say. Alternate translation: [And in fact]
OET-LV And_now HERE the_king whom you(pl)_have_chosen whom you(pl)_asked_for and_BEHOLD/LO/SEE YHWH he_has_set over_you(pl) a_king.
OET (OET-RV) So now, look, here’s the king that you all chose to have. Yes, Yahweh has given you all a king.
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.
