OET (OET-RV) but Sha’ul didn’t say anything that day, thinking, “Something must have happened that made him ceremonially unclean.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אָמַר֙
he/it_had_said
Saul did not say these words out loud. Rather, this was what he thought to himself. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make this explicit in your translation. Alternate translation: [he said to himself] or [he thought]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication
בִּלְתִּ֥י טָה֛וֹר ה֖וּא כִּֽי־לֹ֥א טָהֽוֹר
not clean he/it that/for/because/then/when not clean
In this instance, Saul is actually not repeating the word clean for emphasis. Instead, the author is showing how Saul talked himself into this conclusion. So it would be appropriate to repeat the word in your translation.
20:26-27 A number of circumstances could render a person ceremonially unclean and thus unfit for attending a sacred festival (see Lev 7:20-21). Often, an unclean person was required to be excluded from such functions only until the evening of the same day (Lev 15). This explains why Saul became suspicious after David did not arrive the next day.
• Saul referred to David as the son of Jesse (also in 1 Sam 20:31; 22:7), a description that functioned as David’s surname.

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.
