OET (OET-RV) One day, David asked Akish, “If I’ve found favour in your eyes, ask them to give me a place in one of the cities in the countryside so I can live there. There’s no need for us to bludge on you here in the royal city.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
(Occurrence 0) If I have found favor in your eyes
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid to/towards ʼAkīsh if now found graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty in/on/at/with,eyes,your given to=me place in/on/at/with,one towns the=field and,live there and=for=what? live servant,your in/on/at/with,city the,royal with,you )
Here the eyes represent seeing, and seeing represents thoughts or judgment. See how you translated this in 1 Samuel 20:3. Alternate translation: “If I have pleased you” or “If you consider me favorably”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
(Occurrence 0) let them give me a place
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid to/towards ʼAkīsh if now found graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty in/on/at/with,eyes,your given to=me place in/on/at/with,one towns the=field and,live there and=for=what? live servant,your in/on/at/with,city the,royal with,you )
Since Achish was the one who would “give,” this is a metonym for “please give me a place.”
(Occurrence 0) one of the cities in the country
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid to/towards ʼAkīsh if now found graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty in/on/at/with,eyes,your given to=me place in/on/at/with,one towns the=field and,live there and=for=what? live servant,your in/on/at/with,city the,royal with,you )
Alternate translation: “one of the outlying towns” or “one of the towns outside the city”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
(Occurrence 0) Why should your servant live in the royal city with you?
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid to/towards ʼAkīsh if now found graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty in/on/at/with,eyes,your given to=me place in/on/at/with,one towns the=field and,live there and=for=what? live servant,your in/on/at/with,city the,royal with,you )
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “I do not need to live in the city with you.” or “I am not important enough to live here with you in the royal city.”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / pronouns
(Occurrence 0) your servant
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid to/towards ʼAkīsh if now found graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty in/on/at/with,eyes,your given to=me place in/on/at/with,one towns the=field and,live there and=for=what? live servant,your in/on/at/with,city the,royal with,you )
David speaks as if he were another person to show that he respected Achish.
27:1-12 David fled to the Philistines to get away from Saul for good. Rather than killing Saul, David chose the dangerous life of a fugitive.

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.
