OET interlinear 1 SAM 18:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / events

וַ⁠יָּ֤טֶל שָׁאוּל֙ אֶֽת־הַ⁠חֲנִ֔ית וַ⁠יֹּ֕אמֶר אַכֶּ֥ה בְ⁠דָוִ֖ד וּ⁠בַ⁠קִּ֑יר

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_hurled Shāʼūl/(Saul) DOM the,spear and=he/it_said pin (on),David and,(on),wall and,he_went_around Dāvid from,before_of,him twice )

The author is describing one event before describing another event that preceded it. In your translation, you may wish to relate these events in the order in which they happened. Alternate translation: [And Saul said, “I will strike David, and into the wall!” and he hurled the spear.]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וּ⁠בַ⁠קִּ֑יר

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_hurled Shāʼūl/(Saul) DOM the,spear and=he/it_said pin (on),David and,(on),wall and,he_went_around Dāvid from,before_of,him twice )

Saul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and the spear will drive him into the wall]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וַ⁠יִּסֹּ֥ב & מִ⁠פָּנָ֖י⁠ו

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_hurled Shāʼūl/(Saul) DOM the,spear and=he/it_said pin (on),David and,(on),wall and,he_went_around Dāvid from,before_of,him twice )

The author is using one part of Saul, his face, to mean all of him in the act of trying to kill David. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [But … avoided him]
