OET (OET-RV) Then Yahweh spoke to Shemuel, “How long are you going to keep mourning for Sha’ul for, when I myself have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go. I’ll send you to Yishay (Jesse) from Bethlehem, because I’ve seen one of his sons who’d make a good king for me.”

(Occurrence 0) How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel?
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said YHWH to/towards Shəmūʼēl until when(q) you(ms) mourn to/towards Shāʼūl and,I rejected,him from,king on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Yisrael fill horn_of,your oil and,go send,you to/towards Yishay/(Jesse) house_of -lehemite that/for/because/then/when chosen in/on/at/with,sons_of,his to=me king )
This rhetorical question is a rebuke from God and can be translated as a statement. Alternate translation: “Stop mourning that I rejected Saul from being king over Israel.”
(Occurrence 0) Fill your horn with oil
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said YHWH to/towards Shəmūʼēl until when(q) you(ms) mourn to/towards Shāʼūl and,I rejected,him from,king on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Yisrael fill horn_of,your oil and,go send,you to/towards Yishay/(Jesse) house_of -lehemite that/for/because/then/when chosen in/on/at/with,sons_of,his to=me king )
The term “horn” was sometimes used to refer to a “flask” that was shaped like a horn and was used for holding water or oil. A flask of oil was used for anointing a king.
16:1 mourned long enough: See study note on 15:35.
• Bethlehem was about five miles south of Jerusalem. It was later known as the City of David (Luke 2:11) and the birthplace of Jesus.
• Jesse was the grandson of Boaz and Ruth (Ruth 4:22).
• I have selected: This Hebrew verb implies that God had seen one of [Jesse’s] sons and based his choice on what he saw. God, the eternal king, knows better than the people of Israel how to choose a good king to serve the nation, and he provided a replacement for Saul who would lead Israel well.

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.
