OET interlinear 1 SAM 4:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יִּלָּחֲמ֣וּ פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_fought Pəlishtiy and,it_was_defeated Yisrael and,they_fled (a)_man to,his_own_of,tents and=it_became the,defeat great very and,he_fell of,Israel thirty thousand foot_soldiers )

The author assumes that readers will know that by fought, he means that the Philistines fought courageously, as they told themselves they had to do. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [So the Philistines fought courageously]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠יִּנָּ֤גֶף יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ וַ⁠יָּנֻ֨סוּ֙ אִ֣ישׁ לְ⁠אֹהָלָ֔י⁠ו

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_fought Pəlishtiy and,it_was_defeated Yisrael and,they_fled (a)_man to,his_own_of,tents and=it_became the,defeat great very and,he_fell of,Israel thirty thousand foot_soldiers )

The author is using a man to his tent as a common expression of his culture to mean that the soldiers stopped their military campaign altogether and each of them went back to his home and family. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and they defeated the Israelite soldiers, who fled from the battle and left the army and went home]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַ⁠מַּכָּ֖ה גְּדוֹלָ֣ה מְאֹ֑ד

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_fought Pəlishtiy and,it_was_defeated Yisrael and,they_fled (a)_man to,his_own_of,tents and=it_became the,defeat great very and,he_fell of,Israel thirty thousand foot_soldiers )

The word striking here is from the same root word as the verb that the ULT translates as “struck” in 4:2. See how you translated the verb there. Alternate translation: [a very great slaughter]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠יִּפֹּל֙ מִ⁠יִּשְׂרָאֵ֔ל שְׁלֹשִׁ֥ים אֶ֖לֶף רַגְלִֽי

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_fought Pəlishtiy and,it_was_defeated Yisrael and,they_fled (a)_man to,his_own_of,tents and=it_became the,defeat great very and,he_fell of,Israel thirty thousand foot_soldiers )

The author is using the term fell to mean that these soldiers were killed in the battle, to represent the way they fell to the ground when they died. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [for 30,000 foot soldiers from Israel died]
