וְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ וִיהוּדָ֔ה אֹהֵ֖ב אֶת־דָּוִ֑ד כִּֽי־ה֛וּא יוֹצֵ֥א וָבָ֖א לִפְנֵיהֶֽם
and=all Yisrael and=Yəhūdāh/(Yihudah) loved DOM Dāvid that/for/because/then/when he/it went_out and,came_in before,face/front,them
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: [But since David was going out and coming in to their face, all of Israel and Judah were loving David]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
וְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ וִיהוּדָ֔ה
and=all Yisrael and=Yəhūdāh/(Yihudah)
The author is making a generalization for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: [But people throughout Judah and the rest of Israel]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ה֛וּא יוֹצֵ֥א וָבָ֖א לִפְנֵיהֶֽם
he/it went_out and,came_in before,face/front,them
As in [18:13](../18/13.md), the author is using the term face by association to mean “front,” and he is using the term their by association to mean the army of Israel and Judah. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use equivalent expressions or plain language. Alternate translation: [he was going out and coming in at the front of their soldiers]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ה֛וּא יוֹצֵ֥א וָבָ֖א לִפְנֵיהֶֽם
he/it went_out and,came_in before,face/front,them
See how you translated this expression in [18:13](../18/13.md). Alternate translation: [he was leading their soldiers into battle]

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.
