(Some words not found in UHB: and,she_made_haste and=she/it_arose ʼAⱱīgayil and,she_rode on/upon the,donkey and,five maids_of,her [who],walked to,foot_of,her and,she_went after messengers_of Dāvid and=it_became to=him/it to/for=(a)_woman )
By saying that Abigail arose, the author means that she took action in response to David’s proposal. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [And Abigail hurried and took action]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
וַתְּמַהֵ֞ר וַתָּ֣קָם אֲבִיגַ֗יִל
(Some words not found in UHB: and,she_made_haste and=she/it_arose ʼAⱱīgayil and,she_rode on/upon the,donkey and,five maids_of,her [who],walked to,foot_of,her and,she_went after messengers_of Dāvid and=it_became to=him/it to/for=(a)_woman )
This expression conveys a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word hurried tells in what way Abigail arose (took action). Alternate translation: [And Abigail hurriedly took action]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
הַהֹלְכ֖וֹת לְרַגְלָ֑הּ
[who],walked to,foot_of,her
The author is using the expression at her feet to represent that Abigail’s young women walked behind her. (Even though Abigail was riding a donkey, the author is speaking as if she was walking on her feet.) See how you translated the similar expression in 25:27. Alternate translation: [followed her]
OET-LV And_she_made_haste and_ ʼAⱱīgayil _she/it_arose and_she_rode on the_donkey and_five maids_of_her who_walked to_foot_of_her and_she_went after the_messengers_of Dāvid and_it_became to_him/it to/for_(a)_woman.
OET (OET-RV) Then Avigayil and five of her servant girls quickly got ready, and she mounted the donkey. She followed the messengers to where David was and became a wife for 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.
