(Occurrence 0) So you will know … So I will
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid to/towards ʼAkīsh for=so/thus/hence you(ms) know DOM which/who he/it_made/did servant,your and=he/it_said ʼAkīsh to/towards Dāvid for=so/thus/hence he/it_was_watching of,head_of,my make,you all/each/any/every the=days )
The word “so” shows that the speaker agrees with what the other person has just said. Alternate translation: “Yes, I will go with you so that you will know … Very well, I will”
(Occurrence 0) you will know what your servant can do
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid to/towards ʼAkīsh for=so/thus/hence you(ms) know DOM which/who he/it_made/did servant,your and=he/it_said ʼAkīsh to/towards Dāvid for=so/thus/hence he/it_was_watching of,head_of,my make,you all/each/any/every the=days )
David probably wanted Achish to think that David would kill many Israelites, but “what your servant can do” could also mean that David was planning to kill Philistines instead. Try to translate so that the reader can see both of these possible meanings.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / pronouns
(Occurrence 0) your servant
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid to/towards ʼAkīsh for=so/thus/hence you(ms) know DOM which/who he/it_made/did servant,your and=he/it_said ʼAkīsh to/towards Dāvid for=so/thus/hence he/it_was_watching of,head_of,my make,you all/each/any/every the=days )
David speaks as if he is another person so that Achish will think David respects him. Alternate translation: “I”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / pronouns
(Occurrence 0) make you
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid to/towards ʼAkīsh for=so/thus/hence you(ms) know DOM which/who he/it_made/did servant,your and=he/it_said ʼAkīsh to/towards Dāvid for=so/thus/hence he/it_was_watching of,head_of,my make,you all/each/any/every the=days )
The word “you” refers to David and so is singular.
(Occurrence 0) bodyguard
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid to/towards ʼAkīsh for=so/thus/hence you(ms) know DOM which/who he/it_made/did servant,your and=he/it_said ʼAkīsh to/towards Dāvid for=so/thus/hence he/it_was_watching of,head_of,my make,you all/each/any/every the=days )
a person who protects another person
OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said Dāvid to ʼAkīsh for_so/thus/hence you you_will_know DOM [that]_which he_will_do servant_your and_he/it_said ʼAkīsh to Dāvid for_so/thus/hence a_watchman of_head_of_my make_you all the_days.
OET (OET-RV) “Sounds good,” David replied, “because you’ll be able to see for yourself what your servant can do.”
¶ “I’ll appoint as my permanent bodyguard,” Akish told 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.
