OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said the_Philistine to Dāvid come to_me and_give DOM flesh_of_your to_birds_of the_heavens and_to_beasts_of the_field.
OET (OET-RV) “Come over here,” he told David, “and let me give your flesh to the vultures and wild animals.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
אֶת־בְּשָׂ֣רְךָ֔
DOM flesh_of,your
Goliath is using one part of David, his flesh, to mean all of him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [your body]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אֶת־בְּשָׂ֣רְךָ֔
DOM flesh_of,your
Goliath means that he will give David’s flesh as food to the birds and animals. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [your flesh as food]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
לְע֥וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וּלְבֶהֱמַ֥ת הַשָּׂדֶֽה
to,birds_of the=heavens and,to,beasts_of the=field
Goliath is not referring to specific animals. He means these animals in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using plural forms. Alternate translation: [to the birds of the sky and the wild animals]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
לְע֥וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם
to,birds_of the=heavens
This phrase describes birds that fly in the heavens, that is, the sky. In this context, it refers specifically to scavenger birds that would circle in the sky looking for dead animals or people to eat. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [to scavenger birds]
17:44 A corpse left to scavengers such as birds and wild animals was grievously cursed (cp. Deut 21:23; 28:26).

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.
