Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
וַיַּ֤עַל דָּוִד֙ וַֽאֲנָשָׁ֔יו
and=he/it_ascended Dāvid and,men_of,his
See how you translated the similar phrase in [1:3](../01/03.md), where the author, in keeping with the conventions of his culture, marks travel for change in elevation. The Philistine territory was on the coastland, and David and his men had to go up in elevation to reach the other places the author describes. Alternate translation: [And David and his men went]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
הַגְּשׁוּרִ֥י והגרזי וְהָעֲמָלֵקִ֑י
the,Geshurites and,the, and,the,Amalekites
The author is not referring to a specific Geshurite, Girzite, or Amalekite. He means the members of these people groups in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: [the Geshurites and the Girzites and the Amalekites]
Note 3 topic: writing-background
כִּ֣י הֵ֜נָּה יֹשְׁב֤וֹת הָאָ֨רֶץ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר מֵֽעוֹלָ֔ם
that/for/because/then/when they(f) inhabitants the=earth/land which/who from=long_ago/eternity
The author is providing background information to help readers understand who these people groups were. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture. Alternate translation: [(for they had lived in that area since ancient times)]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
בּוֹאֲךָ֥ שׁ֖וּרָה וְעַד־אֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם
extending,you Shur,to and=unto earth/land Miʦrayim/(Egypt)
The author is using a common expression of his culture to mean the area extending as far as Shur and the border of Egypt. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [as far as Shur and up to the border of Egypt]
27:8 Geshurites . . . Girzites . . . Amalekites: These groups, who lived on the edges of the southern desert, had been troublesome to both Philistines and Israelites. (On the Amalekites, see 14:48; ch 15; on the Geshurites, see Josh 13:2, 13; 2 Sam 3:3.)
• Shur was somewhere east of Egypt (1 Sam 15:7; Gen 16:7; 20:1; 25:18).

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.
