(Some words not found in UHB: if dealt in/on/at/with,, treacherously and=all matter not hidden from/more_than the=king and=you(ms) you_would_keep_distance from,in_front )
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [since every matter is not hidden from the king, I would have done wrong against my life]

שֶׁ֔קֶר
(Some words not found in UHB: if dealt in/on/at/with,, treacherously and=all matter not hidden from/more_than the=king and=you(ms) you_would_keep_distance from,in_front )
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of wrong, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [something wrong]

(Some words not found in UHB: if dealt in/on/at/with,, treacherously and=all matter not hidden from/more_than the=king and=you(ms) you_would_keep_distance from,in_front )
See how you translated the similar expression “you, you know” in 17:8. Alternate translation: [and you know quite well that you would have stationed yourself]

וְאַתָּ֖ה תִּתְיַצֵּ֥ב מִנֶּֽגֶד
(Some words not found in UHB: if dealt in/on/at/with,, treacherously and=all matter not hidden from/more_than the=king and=you(ms) you_would_keep_distance from,in_front )
The soldier is using stationed yourself from before me as a common expression of his culture to mean “kept your distance” or “would not have defended me.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and you would have kept your distance from me] or [and you would not have defended me]

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.
