OET (OET-RV) As David and his men continued along the road, Shimei walked along the hillside beside him—walking and cursing, and throwing stones and dirt at him.

went (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went Dāvid and,men_of,his on,road and,Shimei going on,the_side_of of,the_mountain parallel,with_of,him went and,he_cursed and,he_stoned_[them] with,stones parallel,with_of,him and,he_dusted_[them] with,dust )
The phrase walking and he cursed expresses a single idea. The word cursed tells in what way Shimei was walking. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning in a different way. Alternate translation: [walking cursingly] or [cursing as he walked]

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went Dāvid and,men_of,his on,road and,Shimei going on,the_side_of of,the_mountain parallel,with_of,him went and,he_cursed and,he_stoned_[them] with,stones parallel,with_of,him and,he_dusted_[them] with,dust )
See how you translated the similar expression in [16:6](../16/06.md). Alternate translation: [and he threw stones at him]

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went Dāvid and,men_of,his on,road and,Shimei going on,the_side_of of,the_mountain parallel,with_of,him went and,he_cursed and,he_stoned_[them] with,stones parallel,with_of,him and,he_dusted_[them] with,dust )
It might seem that the expression dusted with dust contains extra information that would not be natural to express in your language. If so, you could shorten it. Alternate translation: [and he showered dirt on him]

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went Dāvid and,men_of,his on,road and,Shimei going on,the_side_of of,the_mountain parallel,with_of,him went and,he_cursed and,he_stoned_[them] with,stones parallel,with_of,him and,he_dusted_[them] with,dust )
Throwing dust on David was a symbolic action by which Shimei showed extreme disrespect and contempt for him. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text of your translation or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [and he threw dirt at him to show his contempt]

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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
