OET (OET-RV) Then Sha’ul sent him out of the room and appointed him as the commander of a thousand warriors, so he came and went in front of the people.[fn]

18:13 It’s not entirely clear what the implications of this coming and going were (and similarly at the end of v16). It could easily refer to him returning successfully from military excursions.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠יֵּצֵ֥א וַ⁠יָּבֹ֖א

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he,removed_him Shāʼūl/(Saul) from,with,him and,he,appointed_him to=him/it chief a_thousand and=he/it_went_out and,he_came to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the,people )

The author is using a common expression of his culture that describes leadership. See the similar uses in Numbers 27:17 and 2 Chronicles 1:10. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And he was a leader]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לִ⁠פְנֵ֥י

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before

The author is using the term face to represent the front or head position. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [in front of] or [at the head of]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הָ⁠עָֽם

the,people

The term people has the same meaning here as in 13:2 and in its frequent occurrences in chapter 13, chapter 14, and chapter 15. Alternate translation: [these fighting men of Israel]

OET (OET-RV) Then Sha’ul sent him out of the room and appointed him as the commander of a thousand warriors, so he came and went in front of the people.[fn]

18:13 It’s not entirely clear what the implications of this coming and going were (and similarly at the end of v16). It could easily refer to him returning successfully from military excursions.

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.
