uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

בָּח֣וּר וָ⁠ט֔וֹב

young_man and,handsome

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word good tells what kind of youth Saul was. Alternate translation: [a good-looking young man]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

וְ⁠אֵ֥ין אִ֛ישׁ מִ⁠בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל ט֣וֹב מִמֶּ֑⁠נּוּ

and,there_was_not (a)_man from=(the)_sons Yisrael good from=him/it

The author is making an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [In fact, he was exceptionally handsome among the Israelite men]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מִ⁠שִּׁכְמ֣⁠וֹ וָ⁠מַ֔עְלָ⁠ה גָּבֹ֖הַּ מִ⁠כָּל־הָ⁠עָֽם

from,shoulders_of,his and,above, taller from=all the,people

The author is using a common expression of his culture to mean that Saul was significantly taller than other Israelite men. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: [He was a head taller than anyone else] or [He was significantly taller than other Israelite men]
