(Occurrence 0) these uncircumcised
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shāʼūl to,bearer armor,his draw sword,your and,thrust_~_through,me in/on/at/with,it lest come the,uncircumcised the=these and,thrust_~_through,me and,make_sport in/on/at/with,me and=not would lifting/taking armor,his that/for/because/then/when fearing very and=he/it_took Shāʼūl DOM the=drought//sword/knife and,fell on,it )
The nominal adjective “uncircumcised” can be translated as an adjective. Not being circumcised is a metonym for being foreigners. Alternate translation: “these men who have not been circumcised” or “these non-Israelite men” (See also: figs-metonymy)
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
(Occurrence 0) would not
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shāʼūl to,bearer armor,his draw sword,your and,thrust_~_through,me in/on/at/with,it lest come the,uncircumcised the=these and,thrust_~_through,me and,make_sport in/on/at/with,me and=not would lifting/taking armor,his that/for/because/then/when fearing very and=he/it_took Shāʼūl DOM the=drought//sword/knife and,fell on,it )
The ellipsis can be filled in. Alternate translation: “would not do what Saul had told him to do”
(Occurrence 0) took his own sword and fell on it
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shāʼūl to,bearer armor,his draw sword,your and,thrust_~_through,me in/on/at/with,it lest come the,uncircumcised the=these and,thrust_~_through,me and,make_sport in/on/at/with,me and=not would lifting/taking armor,his that/for/because/then/when fearing very and=he/it_took Shāʼūl DOM the=drought//sword/knife and,fell on,it )
Alternate translation: “killed himself with his own sword”
31:4 David had once held the position of armor bearer (16:21).
• kill me: This is one of many parallels between the death of Abimelech in the time of the judges (Judg 9) and Saul, Israel’s first national king (cp. Judg 9:54).

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.
