Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיְּשָּֽׁמְעוּ֙
and,heard
Here the author is not using the pronoun they to refer to specific people, although the context shows that it refers to people who had access to Saul. Use an expression for this that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: [And people heard] or [And some officers heard]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
הַדְּבָרִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר דִּבֶּ֣ר דָּוִ֑ד
the,words which/who he/it_had_said Dāvid
The author is using the term words by association to mean the question David was asking by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [the question that David was asking]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
וַיַּגִּ֥דוּ לִפְנֵֽי־שָׁא֖וּל
and,reported to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before Shāʼūl
The author is using one part of Saul, his face, to mean all of him in the act of receiving this report personally. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And they told Saul personally]
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיִּקָּחֵֽהוּ
and,sent_for,him
The pronoun he refers to Saul, while the pronoun him refers to David. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [and Saul got David] or [and Saul sent someone to get David]

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.
