OET (OET-LV) And_ Dāvid _he/it_said I_will_do covenant_loyalty with Ḩānūn the_son_of Nāḩāsh just_as he_did his/its_father with_me covenant_loyalty and_ Dāvid _he_sent to_comfort_him by_the_hand_of his_servants_of_his concerning his/its_father and_ the_servants_of _they_came of_Dāvid the_land_of the_people_of ˊAmmōn.
OET (OET-RV) “I’ll be kind to Nahash’s son Hanun,” David said, “just like his father was kind to me.” So he sent servants to Hanun to convey his condolences.
¶ When they arrived in the Ammon region,
Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
וַיֹּ֨אמֶר דָּוִ֜ד
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid show kindness with Ḩānūn son_of Nāḩāsh just=as he/it_had_made his/its=father with=me kindness and,he_sent Dāvid to,comfort,him by,the_hand_of his_servants_of,his to/towards his/its=father and=they_came servants_of Dāvid's earth/land sons_of ˊAmmōn )
In this instance, the author is using the term said to introduce what David was thinking or saying to himself. David did not necessarily say this out loud to anyone. In your translation, use a natural way of introducing what people say to themselves or think. Alternate translation: [And David thought]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
וַיֹּ֨אמֶר דָּוִ֜ד אֶעֱשֶׂה־חֶ֣סֶד ׀ עִם־חָנ֣וּן בֶּן־נָחָ֗שׁ כַּאֲשֶׁר֩ עָשָׂ֨ה אָבִ֤יו עִמָּדִי֙ חֶ֔סֶד
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid show kindness with Ḩānūn son_of Nāḩāsh just=as he/it_had_made his/its=father with=me kindness and,he_sent Dāvid to,comfort,him by,the_hand_of his_servants_of,his to/towards his/its=father and=they_came servants_of Dāvid's earth/land sons_of ˊAmmōn )
The author presents David’s thoughts as a direct quotation. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: [And David decided that he should do kindness with Hanun the son of Nahash, just as his father had done kindness with him]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וַיִּשְׁלַ֨ח דָּוִ֧ד & בְּיַד־עֲבָדָ֖יו
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid show kindness with Ḩānūn son_of Nāḩāsh just=as he/it_had_made his/its=father with=me kindness and,he_sent Dāvid to,comfort,him by,the_hand_of his_servants_of,his to/towards his/its=father and=they_came servants_of Dāvid's earth/land sons_of ˊAmmōn )
Here, the hand of David’s servants represents their agency in acting with David’s authority as his representatives. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And David sent some of his servants as his representatives]
