Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
וַיַּ֨עַן & וַיֹּ֗אמֶר
and,replied & and=he/it_said
This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word answered tells for what purpose the messenger said this. Alternate translation: [replied]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וַאֲר֥וֹן הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים נִלְקָֽחָה
and,ark_of the=ʼElohīm captured
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: [and the Philistines have taken the Box of God]
4:1b–7:2 The crisis surrounding the Ark of the Covenant demonstrated Israel’s need for Samuel’s leadership and fulfilled prophecies about Eli and his sons (3:11-14).

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.
