OET (OET-LV) And_ Shəmūʼēl _he/it_said to Yishay all the_sons and_he/it_said still he_remains the_youngest and_see/lo/see he_is_shepherding in/on/at/with_sheep and_ Shəmūʼēl _he/it_said to Yishay send and_bring_him if/because not we_will_turn_round until comes_he here.
OET (OET-RV) Then Shemuel asked Yishay, “Is that all of your sons?”
¶ “Well, there’s just the youngest,” he answered “but see, he’s out looking after the flock.”[fn]
¶ “Send for him,” Shemuel ordered, “because we won’t do anything else until he gets here.”
16:11 We deliberately left the word ‘flock’ here (rather than ‘sheep’), because although young David is always thought of as ‘the shepherd boy’ in English culture, in the middle-East, goats are probably a more important part of the flock than sheep.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְהִנֵּ֥ה
and=see/lo/see!
See how you translated the term behold in [2:31](../02/31.md). Alternate translation: [but this is the situation]
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
שִׁלְחָ֣ה וְקָחֶ֔נּוּ כִּ֥י לֹא־נָסֹ֖ב עַד־בֹּא֥וֹ פֹֽה
send, and,bring,him that/for/because/then/when not sit_down until comes,he here
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: [Since we will not go around until he comes here, send and get him]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
לֹא־נָסֹ֖ב
not sit_down
Samuel means that they will not go around the table to sit down to eat. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [we will not go around the table] or [we will not sit down to eat]
16:1-23 David was Saul’s replacement. There are striking similarities between the two: Samuel anointed both. Neither was pursuing the position. Both were unlikely candidates (Saul was from the smallest tribe; David was the youngest son). Both were impressive in appearance (9:2; 16:12). And the Spirit came mightily on each when he was anointed king (10:10; 11:6; 16:13). The key difference was that David was “a man after [God’s] own heart” (13:14; cp. 16:7), while Saul was not.

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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
