OET (OET-LV) and_ Dāvid _he/it_said to ʼAkīsh if/because what have_I_done and_what have_you_found in/on/at/with_servant_of_your from_day when I_was to_your_face until the_day the_this (cmp) not I_will_go and_fight in/on/at/with_enemies_of my_master the_king.
OET (OET-RV) “But what have I done?” David rebutted. “What wrong have you found in your servant from the day I arrived at your place until now? Why can’t I come and fight against the enemies of my master the king?”

כִּ֣י מֶ֤ה עָשִׂ֨יתִי֙ וּמַה־מָּצָ֣אתָ בְעַבְדְּךָ֔ מִיּוֹם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הָיִ֣יתִי לְפָנֶ֔יךָ עַ֖ד הַיּ֣וֹם הַזֶּ֑ה כִּ֣י לֹ֤א אָבוֹא֙ וְנִלְחַ֔מְתִּי בְּאֹיְבֵ֖י אֲדֹנִ֥י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ

David is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [But I have done nothing wrong! And have you found nothing in your servant from the day when I was to your face up to this day, that I may not come and fight with the enemies of my master the king!]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
בְעַבְדְּךָ֔ & אֲדֹנִ֥י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ
in/on/at/with,servant_of,your & my=master the,king
David is speaking about himself humbly in the third person and to Achish respectfully in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate these expressions in the first and second persons. Alternate translation: [in me, your servant … you, my master, the king]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
הָיִ֣יתִי לְפָנֶ֔יךָ
came to=your=face
David is using the term face by association to mean Achish’s presence. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [I came into your presence] or [I became your servant]
29:1-11 David was spared by divine providence from actually fighting against his own people.
OET (OET-LV) and_ Dāvid _he/it_said to ʼAkīsh if/because what have_I_done and_what have_you_found in/on/at/with_servant_of_your from_day when I_was to_your_face until the_day the_this (cmp) not I_will_go and_fight in/on/at/with_enemies_of my_master the_king.
OET (OET-RV) “But what have I done?” David rebutted. “What wrong have you found in your servant from the day I arrived at your place until now? Why can’t I come and fight against the enemies of my master the king?”
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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
