OET interlinear 1 SAM 13:19

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וְ⁠חָרָשׁ֙ לֹ֣א יִמָּצֵ֔א בְּ⁠כֹ֖ל אֶ֣רֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל כִּֽי־אָמְר֣וּ פְלִשְׁתִּ֔ים פֶּ֚ן יַעֲשׂ֣וּ הָ⁠עִבְרִ֔ים חֶ֖רֶב א֥וֹ חֲנִֽית

and,a_craftsman not (Some words not found in UHB: and,a_craftsman not found in,all_of earth/land Yisrael that/for/because/then/when said Pəlishtiy lest make the,Hebrews swords or spears )

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Now since the Philistines had said, “Lest the Hebrews make a sword or a spear,” a blacksmith was not found in all of the land of Israel]

Note 2 topic: writing-background

וְ⁠חָרָשׁ֙ לֹ֣א יִמָּצֵ֔א בְּ⁠כֹ֖ל אֶ֣רֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל

and,a_craftsman not (Some words not found in UHB: and,a_craftsman not found in,all_of earth/land Yisrael that/for/because/then/when said Pəlishtiy lest make the,Hebrews swords or spears )

The author is providing further background information to help readers understand what will happen next in the story. In the next chapter, he will describe a remarkable victory despite starting with basically no weapons. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠חָרָשׁ֙ לֹ֣א יִמָּצֵ֔א

and,a_craftsman not (Some words not found in UHB: and,a_craftsman not found in,all_of earth/land Yisrael that/for/because/then/when said Pəlishtiy lest make the,Hebrews swords or spears )

See how you translated the term found in 13:15. Alternate translation: [Now there were no blacksmiths]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

אָמְר֣וּ פְלִשְׁתִּ֔ים פֶּ֚ן יַעֲשׂ֣וּ הָ⁠עִבְרִ֔ים חֶ֖רֶב א֥וֹ חֲנִֽית

(Some words not found in UHB: and,a_craftsman not found in,all_of earth/land Yisrael that/for/because/then/when said Pəlishtiy lest make the,Hebrews swords or spears )

The author is summarizing, in the form of a direct quotation, the reason why the Philistines decided not to allow Israelites to be blacksmiths. The Philistines may not have spoken these actual words to one another, so you could translate this as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: [the Philistines had decided that they did not want the Hebrews to be able to make swords or spears]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

חֶ֖רֶב א֥וֹ חֲנִֽית

swords or spears

The Philistines are not referring to a specific sword or spear. They mean such weapons in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using plural forms. Alternate translation: [swords or spears]
