וַיִּרָ֥א שָׁא֖וּל מִלִּפְנֵ֣י דָוִ֑ד כִּֽי־הָיָ֤ה יְהוָה֙ עִמּ֔וֹ וּמֵעִ֥ם שָׁא֖וּל סָֽר
and,afraid Shāʼūl from=to/for=face/front/presence Dāvid that/for/because/then/when it_became YHWH with=him/it and,from_with, Shāʼūl departed
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: [And since Yahweh was with David but had turned away from Saul, Saul was afraid from the face of David]

וַיִּרָ֥א שָׁא֖וּל מִלִּפְנֵ֣י דָוִ֑ד
and,afraid Shāʼūl from=to/for=face/front/presence Dāvid
The author is using one part of David, his face, to mean all of him, suggesting that Saul found David personally to be imposing and intimidating. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And Saul was afraid of David]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
הָיָ֤ה יְהוָה֙ עִמּ֔וֹ
it_became YHWH with=him/it
See how you translated this expression in [3:19](../03/19.md). Alternate translation: [Yahweh was helping him]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּמֵעִ֥ם שָׁא֖וּל סָֽר
and,from_with, Shāʼūl departed
The author is speaking as if Yahweh had once been physically present with Saul but had walked away from him. He means that Yahweh was no longer helping Saul. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [but he was no longer helping Saul]
18:12 the Lord . . . had turned away from Saul as king as punishment for his disobedience. Saul’s kingship would fail, and David’s would succeed (18:14).
