OET (OET-RV) because as long as that son of Yishay stays alive on this earth, you and your kingdom will never be established. Now, send men and arrest him, because he’s on his way to the grave!”
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
כִּ֣י
that/for/because/then/when
Here the word For introduces a fuller explanation. Alternate translation: [I say this because]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
כָל־הַיָּמִ֗ים
all the=days
Saul is using the term days by association to mean a particular time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [the whole time]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
לֹ֥א תִכּ֖וֹן אַתָּ֣ה וּמַלְכוּתֶ֑ךָ
not established you(ms) and,kingdom_of,your
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: [you will not be established, nor will your kingdom be established]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
לֹ֥א תִכּ֖וֹן אַתָּ֣ה וּמַלְכוּתֶ֑ךָ
not established you(ms) and,kingdom_of,your
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. The sense is the same as in [13:13](../13/13.md), where Samuel uses an active form. Alternate translation: [Yahweh will not establish you, nor will he establish your kingdom]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
לֹ֥א תִכּ֖וֹן אַתָּ֣ה וּמַלְכוּתֶ֑ךָ
not established you(ms) and,kingdom_of,your
These two phrases mean basically the same thing. Saul is using them together for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could combine them and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [you will certainly not be established as king] or [Yahweh will certainly not establish you as king]
Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
שְׁלַ֨ח וְקַ֤ח אֹתוֹ֙ אֵלַ֔י כִּ֥י בֶן־מָ֖וֶת הֽוּא
send and,bring DOM=him/it to=me that/for/because/then/when son_of die he/it
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: [since he is a son of death, send and take him to me]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
בֶן־מָ֖וֶת הֽוּא
son_of die he/it
In certain contexts, biblical authors and characters use the expression son of to indicate that a person is characterized by something. In this case, Saul means that David is characterized by death, that is, he deserves to die. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [he deserves to die]

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.
