uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

וַ⁠יַּ֣רְא דָוִ֔ד כִּֽי־יָצָ֥א שָׁא֖וּל לְ⁠בַקֵּ֣שׁ אֶת־נַפְשׁ֑⁠וֹ וְ⁠דָוִ֥ד בְּ⁠מִדְבַּר־זִ֖יף בַּ⁠חֹֽרְשָׁה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_saw Dāvid that/for/because/then/when he/it_went_forth Shāʼūl/(Saul) to,seek DOM life_of,his and,David [was]_in,the_wilderness_of Zīf at,Horesh )

It may be more natural in your language to put the information about David’s location before the information about what he saw Saul doing. Alternate translation: [While David was in the wilderness of Ziph, in the forest, he saw that Saul had come out to seek his life]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠יַּ֣רְא דָוִ֔ד כִּֽי־יָצָ֥א שָׁא֖וּל לְ⁠בַקֵּ֣שׁ אֶת־נַפְשׁ֑⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_saw Dāvid that/for/because/then/when he/it_went_forth Shāʼūl/(Saul) to,seek DOM life_of,his and,David [was]_in,the_wilderness_of Zīf at,Horesh )

The author is using the term saw to represent becoming aware. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [And David became aware that Saul had come out to seek his life]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וַ⁠יַּ֣רְא דָוִ֔ד כִּֽי־יָצָ֥א שָׁא֖וּל לְ⁠בַקֵּ֣שׁ אֶת־נַפְשׁ֑⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_saw Dāvid that/for/because/then/when he/it_went_forth Shāʼūl/(Saul) to,seek DOM life_of,his and,David [was]_in,the_wilderness_of Zīf at,Horesh )

The author is using Saul to represent people he sent out to find David. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And David was aware that Saul was sending people out to seek his life]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לְ⁠בַקֵּ֣שׁ אֶת־נַפְשׁ֑⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_saw Dāvid that/for/because/then/when he/it_went_forth Shāʼūl/(Saul) to,seek DOM life_of,his and,David [was]_in,the_wilderness_of Zīf at,Horesh )

See how you translated this expression in [20:1](../20/01.md). Alternate translation: [to find him so that he could end his life] or [to find him so that he could kill him]

Note 5 topic: writing-background

וְ⁠דָוִ֥ד בְּ⁠מִדְבַּר־זִ֖יף בַּ⁠חֹֽרְשָׁה

and,David (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_saw Dāvid that/for/because/then/when he/it_went_forth Shāʼūl/(Saul) to,seek DOM life_of,his and,David [was]_in,the_wilderness_of Zīf at,Horesh )

The author is providing background information to help readers understand what happens next in the story. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.

23:15 OSHB note: BHS has been faithful to the Leningrad Codex where there might be a question of the validity of the form and we keep the same form as BHS.

OET (OET-RV)Once David was staying in the Zif wilderness and he saw that Sha’ul had arrived there to try to kill him.

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.
