Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל
Yisrael
See the discussion in the Introduction to 1 Samuel of the use of the name of an ancestor to mean his descendants, and see how you translated this usage in [1:17](../01/17.md). Alternate translation: [the Israelites]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / merism
מִדָּ֖ן וְעַד־בְּאֵ֣ר שָׁ֑בַע
from,Dan and=unto Bəʼēr- -sheba
The author is speaking of two cities at the opposite ends of Israel’s territory in order to mean them and all the territory in between them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [across its entire territory]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
נֶאֱמָ֣ן שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל לְנָבִ֖יא לַיהוָֽה
confirmed Shəmū\sup_ʼēl as,prophet to/for=YHWH
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Yahweh had established Samuel as his prophet]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
נֶאֱמָ֣ן
confirmed
See the discussion in the Introduction to Chapter 2 of the term that the ULT translates as “faithful” in [2:35](../02/35.md). That term could have the same meaning here. Alternate translation: [was faithful]
3:20 The whole nation, from Dan in the north to Beersheba in the south, acknowledged that Samuel was God’s prophet.
• confirmed as a prophet: The reliability of Samuel’s message (3:19) made it evident that God was speaking through him.

OET (OET-RV) so all Israel from Dan in the north and as far as Beersheba in the south knew that Shemuel was a faithful prophet of Yahweh.
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.
