OET (OET-LV) And_it_came the_people into the_camp and_they_said the_elders_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) to/for_what has_he_defeated_us YHWH the_day to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the_Fəlishtiy let_us_bring to_ourselves from_Shiloh DOM the_box_of the_covenant_of YHWH so_that_it_may_come in_our_of_midst and_so_that_it_may_deliver_us from_the_palm_of our_enemies_of_of.

OET (OET-RV) As the people[fn] came into the camp, the Israeli elders asked themselves, “Why did Yahweh allow the Philistines to slaughter us today? Let’s get the box from Shiloh that contains the stone slabs with Yahweh’s agreement on them. Once it’s amongst us, surely it’ll save us from defeat by our enemies.”

4:3 It seems that most translations assume that this is referring to the remainder of the warriors staggering back into the camp (which is certainly a possibility), but we’ve interpreted it as the people coming together (with their elders as it says), to try to figure out why they were defeated. (Similarly for v4.)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לָ֣⁠מָּה נְגָפָ֧⁠נוּ יְהוָ֛ה הַ⁠יּ֖וֹם לִ⁠פְנֵ֣י פְלִשְׁתִּ֑ים

to/for=what has,he_defeated_us YHWH the=day to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before Fəlishtiy

There is an implicit answer to this question in what the elders decide to do the rest of this verse. They feel as if Yahweh himself has defeated them, and they believe the reason is that they did not bring the Box of the Covenant with them into battle. See the discussion in the Introduction to this chapter of why they believed this. The UST models one way to supply this implicit information.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מִ⁠כַּ֥ף אֹיְבֵֽי⁠נוּ

from,the_palm_of our_enemies_of,of

See the discussion in the Introduction to 1 Samuel of the use of the word “hand” to represent power. The elders are using the word palm here to mean the same thing. Alternate translation: [from the power of our enemies]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

4:3 The Israelites were often defeated in war because of the sin of one individual or the entire nation (Josh 7). In this defeat, no one inquired whether sin was the cause; apparently no one had even asked the Lord whether they should engage the Philistines in the first place (cp. 1 Chr 14:13-16). Instead, the Israelites treated the Ark, the most sacred symbol of the Lord’s presence, as a charm to ward off misfortune. Carrying the Ark into battle was not necessarily wrong (cp. Josh 6:2-21), but neither would this act ensure God’s blessing and victory.

OET (OET-LV) And_it_came the_people into the_camp and_they_said the_elders_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) to/for_what has_he_defeated_us YHWH the_day to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the_Fəlishtiy let_us_bring to_ourselves from_Shiloh DOM the_box_of the_covenant_of YHWH so_that_it_may_come in_our_of_midst and_so_that_it_may_deliver_us from_the_palm_of our_enemies_of_of.

OET (OET-RV) As the people[fn] came into the camp, the Israeli elders asked themselves, “Why did Yahweh allow the Philistines to slaughter us today? Let’s get the box from Shiloh that contains the stone slabs with Yahweh’s agreement on them. Once it’s amongst us, surely it’ll save us from defeat by our enemies.”

4:3 It seems that most translations assume that this is referring to the remainder of the warriors staggering back into the camp (which is certainly a possibility), but we’ve interpreted it as the people coming together (with their elders as it says), to try to figure out why they were defeated. (Similarly for v4.)

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.
