Saul was not David’s true father. Saul speaks as if he were David’s father to show David that he wants David to trust and respect him as David would trust and respect his own father.

(Occurrence 0) my life was precious in your eyes today
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shāʼūl sinned come_back son,my Dāvid that/for/because/then/when not harm to/for=yourself(m) again/more below/instead_of which/who precious life,my in/on/at/with,sight,your the=day the=this see/lo/see! acted_like_a_fool and,made_a_~_mistake to_be_great very )
Here the eyes represent seeing, and seeing represents thoughts or judgment. Alternate translation: “today you have considered my life to be very valuable” or “today you showed me that you really do respect me”
(Occurrence 0) played the fool
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shāʼūl sinned come_back son,my Dāvid that/for/because/then/when not harm to/for=yourself(m) again/more below/instead_of which/who precious life,my in/on/at/with,sight,your the=day the=this see/lo/see! acted_like_a_fool and,made_a_~_mistake to_be_great very )
Alternate translation: “been very foolish”
26:21 I have sinned: Saul had seen the error of his ways once before (24:16-19). David had no good reason to trust him this time (see 27:1).
• I have been a fool: This Hebrew term (sakal, “play the fool,” see also 13:13) is different from the word meaning “fool” (nabal) used in ch 25. However, the two words have parallel meanings. Saul and Nabal are parallel figures.

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.
