Note 1 topic: writing-background

וַ⁠תֹּאבַ֨דְנָה֙ הָ⁠אֲתֹנ֔וֹת לְ⁠קִ֖ישׁ אֲבִ֣י שָׁא֑וּל

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_were_lost the,she-asses of,Kish father_of Shāʼūl/(Saul)'s and=he/it_said Qīsh to/towards Shāʼūl/(Saul) his/its=son take now with,you DOM one of,the_young,men and,arise go look_for DOM the,she-asses )

The author is providing background information to help readers understand what happens next in the story. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.

אֲבִ֣י שָׁא֑וּל

father_of (Some words not found in UHB: and,they_were_lost the,she-asses of,Kish father_of Shāʼūl/(Saul)'s and=he/it_said Qīsh to/towards Shāʼūl/(Saul) his/its=son take now with,you DOM one of,the_young,men and,arise go look_for DOM the,she-asses )

It might seem that this expression contains extra information about Kish that would not be natural to express in your language, since the author reminds readers that Saul was his son in the next sentence. If so, you do not need to reflect this expression in your translation.
