OET (OET-RV) So they passed through the Efrati hill country, then through the Shalishah region, but they didn’t find them. Then they went through the Sha’alim region, but there was nothing, so they continued on through the land of the Benyamites, but they didn’t find them.

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_passed_through in,the_hill_country_of ʼEfrayim and=he/it_passed_through in=land_of Shālishāh and=not find and,they_passed in,the_land_of Shaˊₐlīm and,there_[were]_not and=he/it_passed_through in=land_of Binyāmīn and=not find )
The author is using Saul alone to represent both himself and his servant in the action of traveling. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And Saul and the servant passed through … and they passed through … And they passed through]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וָאַ֔יִן
and,there_[were]_not
The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [but they found nothing there]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
יְמִינִ֖י
Binyāmīn
The author is not referring to a specific Benjaminite. He means the Benjaminites in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: [the Benjaminites]
