(Some words not found in UHB: and_[the],Philistines fought against,Israel and,they_fled men_of Yisrael from=face/in_front_of Pəlishtiy and,they_fell slain on,the_mountain_of of_(the),Gilboa )
The author is resuming the story of the Philistine attack against Israel after relating in the previous two chapters the episode of David and his men leaving the Philistine army and rescuing their families and possessions from the Amalekites. The author is resuming the action from where it left off at 29:1, where the Israelites and Philistines were facing each other in battle positions. Use a word, phrase, or other method here that is natural in your language for resuming a story after relating another episode.

(Some words not found in UHB: and_[the],Philistines fought against,Israel and,they_fled men_of Yisrael from=face/in_front_of Pəlishtiy and,they_fell slain on,the_mountain_of of_(the),Gilboa )
The author is using one part of the Philistines, their face, to mean all of them in the act of attacking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [from the attacking Philistines]

slain
The author is using the term pierced to represent those who died from being pierced by swords or other weapons. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [dead]

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.
