OET (OET-RV) “Isn’t David one of your most faithful servants?” Ahimelek answered the king. “He’s the king’s son-in-law and commander over your guards, and isn’t he honoured in your house?
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
וַיַּ֧עַן אֲחִימֶ֛לֶךְ אֶת־הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ וַיֹּאמַ֑ר
and,answered ʼAḩīmelek DOM the=king and,said
This expression conveys a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word answered tells for what purpose Ahimelech said this. Alternate translation: [And Ahimelech responded to the king]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וּמִ֤י בְכָל־עֲבָדֶ֨יךָ֙ כְּדָוִ֣ד נֶאֱמָ֔ן וַחֲתַ֥ן הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ וְסָ֥ר אֶל־מִשְׁמַעְתֶּ֖ךָ וְנִכְבָּ֥ד בְּבֵיתֶֽךָ
and,who in/on/at/with,all_of your=servants as_~_as,David faithful and,son-in-law_of the=king and,captain to/towards bodyguard_of,your and,honored in/on/at/with,house_of,your
Ahimelech is using the question form for emphasis. If speakers of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [No one among all of your servants is being faithful like David, who is the son-in-law of the king and commander over your bodyguard and being honored in your house!]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
וַחֲתַ֥ן הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ
and,son-in-law_of the=king
Ahimelech is speaking about Saul in the third person out of respect. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the second person. Alternate translation: [who is also your son-in-law]
Note 4 topic: translate-kinship
וַחֲתַ֥ן הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ
and,son-in-law_of the=king
See how you translated this relationship term in [18:18](../18/18.md).
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְנִכְבָּ֥ד בְּבֵיתֶֽךָ
and,honored in/on/at/with,house_of,your
Ahimelech is speaking Saul’s court, that is, all of his royal servants, as if it were an actual house. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and being honored in your court] or [and being honored by your royal servants]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וְנִכְבָּ֥ד בְּבֵיתֶֽךָ
and,honored in/on/at/with,house_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. Alternate translation: [and someone whom the people of your court honor]

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.
