OET (OET-RV) Then David told Abishai and all his servants, “Look, my own biological son is trying to kill me. Now on top of that, this Benjaminite. Leave him and let him curse, because Yahweh told him to.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid to/towards ʼAⱱīshay and=near/to all/each/any/every servants,his see/lo/see! son,my which/who he/it_went_forth of,flesh_and_blood,my_own seeks DOM life,my and,more that/for/because/then/when now son_of the,Benjamite leave_~_alone to=him/it and,curse that/for/because/then/when he/it_had_said to=him/it YHWH )
David describes his son this way to emphasize the close bond between a father and his son. Alternate translation: “my own son” or “my dear son”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
(Occurrence 0) wants to take my life
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid to/towards ʼAⱱīshay and=near/to all/each/any/every servants,his see/lo/see! son,my which/who he/it_went_forth of,flesh_and_blood,my_own seeks DOM life,my and,more that/for/because/then/when now son_of the,Benjamite leave_~_alone to=him/it and,curse that/for/because/then/when he/it_had_said to=him/it YHWH )
This is a polite way to refer to killing someone. Alternate translation: “wants to kill me”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
(Occurrence 0) How much more may this Benjamite now desire my ruin?
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid to/towards ʼAⱱīshay and=near/to all/each/any/every servants,his see/lo/see! son,my which/who he/it_went_forth of,flesh_and_blood,my_own seeks DOM life,my and,more that/for/because/then/when now son_of the,Benjamite leave_~_alone to=him/it and,curse that/for/because/then/when he/it_had_said to=him/it YHWH )
David uses this rhetorical question to express that he is not surprised that the man wants to kill him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “Of course this Benjamite desires my ruin!” or “I am not surprised this Benjamite desires my ruin as well!”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
(Occurrence 0) desire my ruin
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid to/towards ʼAⱱīshay and=near/to all/each/any/every servants,his see/lo/see! son,my which/who he/it_went_forth of,flesh_and_blood,my_own seeks DOM life,my and,more that/for/because/then/when now son_of the,Benjamite leave_~_alone to=him/it and,curse that/for/because/then/when he/it_had_said to=him/it YHWH )
Here David describes the man’s desire to kill him as if David were something that the man wanted to ruin. Alternate translation: “desire me to be killed” or “desire to kill me”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
(Occurrence 0) Leave him alone and let him curse
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid to/towards ʼAⱱīshay and=near/to all/each/any/every servants,his see/lo/see! son,my which/who he/it_went_forth of,flesh_and_blood,my_own seeks DOM life,my and,more that/for/because/then/when now son_of the,Benjamite leave_~_alone to=him/it and,curse that/for/because/then/when he/it_had_said to=him/it YHWH )
Here the phrase “leave him alone” means to not stop him from what he is doing. Alternate translation: “Do not stop him from cursing me”
16:11-12 even more reason: David understood why a supporter of Saul might hate him.

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.
