and,what bring to_the,man
Bringing something to Samuel was a symbolic action that showed respect for him as a man of God before consulting him. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: [but what can we bring as a gift to show respect for this man of God]

הַלֶּ֨חֶם֙
the,bread
Saul is using one kind of food, bread, to represent food in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [all of the food]
9:7 anything to offer him: Evidently, it was customary to take a gift when one sought the help of a prophet (cp. 1 Kgs 14:2-3; 2 Kgs 5:5, 15; 8:8). Some false prophets demanded gifts in return for their services (Mic 3:11). Saul’s concern might reflect the spiritual ignorance of thinking that advice from a prophet of God could be purchased (Acts 8:20).

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.
