OET (OET-LV) And_ ʼAⱱīgayil _she_went to Nāⱱāl and_BEHOLD/LO/SEE to_him/it a_feast in_house_of_his like_the_feast_of the_king and_the_heart_of Nāⱱāl it_was_good on/upon/above_him/it and_he was_drunk up_to muchness and_not she_told for_him/it anything small and_great until the_light_of the_morning.
OET (OET-RV) When Abigail got home to Nabal, wow, he had put on a celebration at his house with a feast fit for a king. He was feeling very contented and was quite drunk, so she didn’t tell him anything at all until it was light in the morning.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
כְּמִשְׁתֵּ֣ה הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,she_went ʼAⱱīgayil to/towards Nāⱱāl and=see/lo/see! to=him/it feast in,house_of,his like,the_feast_of the=king and,the_heart_of Nāⱱāl's good on/upon/above=him/it and=he drunk until very and=not told for=him/it anything small and,great until light of,the_morning )
The point of this comparison is that just as a king would serve an abundance of fine food and drink at a feast, so Nabal had prepared a very lavish celebration. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [like the lavish feast that a king would prepare]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְלֵ֤ב נָבָל֙ ט֣וֹב עָלָ֔יו
and,the_heart_of Nāⱱāl's good on/upon/above=him/it
Here the heart represents a person’s feelings and mood. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And Nabal was in a very happy mood]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / merism
דָּבָ֥ר קָטֹ֛ן וְגָד֖וֹל
(Some words not found in UHB: and,she_went ʼAⱱīgayil to/towards Nāⱱāl and=see/lo/see! to=him/it feast in,house_of,his like,the_feast_of the=king and,the_heart_of Nāⱱāl's good on/upon/above=him/it and=he drunk until very and=not told for=him/it anything small and,great until light of,the_morning )
The author is speaking of two extremes, small and great, in order to mean such things and everything in between. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [anything at all]

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.
