בְּזָבְח֖וֹ אֶת־הַזְּבָחִ֑ים
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_sent ʼAⱱīshālōm DOM ʼAḩītofel the,Gilonite counsellor_of Dāvid's from,city_of,his from,Giloh when,sacrificed,he DOM the,sacrifices and=he/it_was the,conspiracy strong and,the,people continued and,numerous DOM ʼAⱱīshālōm )
It might seem that the expression while he sacrificed the sacrifices contains extra information that would not be natural to express in your language. If so, you could shorten it. Alternate translation: [while he offered the sacrifices]

and,the,people continued and,numerous DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_sent ʼAⱱīshālōm DOM ʼAḩītofel the,Gilonite counsellor_of Dāvid's from,city_of,his from,Giloh when,sacrificed,he DOM the,sacrifices and=he/it_was the,conspiracy strong and,the,people continued and,numerous DOM ʼAⱱīshālōm )
See how you translated the similar expression in 3:1. Alternate translation: [and more and more people joined Absalom]

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.
