Saul is repeating forms of the verb “reign” in order to intensify his expression of the idea that it conveys. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [you will certainly reign]

See how you translated the similar expression “your kingdom will not stand” in 13:24. Alternate translation: [and the kingdom of Israel will endure under your rule]

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.
