19:43 Note: KJB: 2Sam.19.42
OET (OET-RV) The men of Yisrael answered the men of Yehudah, “Our ten tribes give us ten shares in the king—more than you. So why do you look down on us? Weren’t we the first to talk about bringing our king back to Yerushalem?”
¶
But what the men of Yehudah said was harsher than what the ten other tribes said.

וַיַּ֣עַן אִֽישׁ־יִשְׂרָאֵל֩ אֶת־אִ֨ישׁ יְהוּדָ֜ה וַיֹּ֗אמֶר
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered all/each/any/every (a)_man Yehuda on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (a)_man Yisrael that/for/because/then/when close_relative the=king to=me and=for=what? this it_glowed/burnt to/for=yourself(m) on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,matter the=this ever,(eat)? we_ate from/more_than the=king if anything given to/for=us )
In this verse, the words a man of Israel and a man of Judah are singular in form, but they refer to all the men of Israel and all the men of Judah as groups. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the plural form of “man.” Alternate translation: [And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and they said]
Note 2 topic: writing-quotations
וַיַּ֣עַן אִֽישׁ־יִשְׂרָאֵל֩ אֶת־אִ֨ישׁ יְהוּדָ֜ה וַיֹּ֗אמֶר
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered all/each/any/every (a)_man Yehuda on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (a)_man Yisrael that/for/because/then/when close_relative the=king to=me and=for=what? this it_glowed/burnt to/for=yourself(m) on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,matter the=this ever,(eat)? we_ate from/more_than the=king if anything given to/for=us )
The phrase and he said introduces a direct quotation. In your translation, use a natural way of introducing direct quotations in your language. It may not be necessary to represent this phrase explicitly. Alternate translation: [And the men of Israel responded to the men of Judah]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
עֶֽשֶׂר־יָד֨וֹת לִ֣י בַמֶּלֶךְ֮
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered all/each/any/every (a)_man Yehuda on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (a)_man Yisrael that/for/because/then/when close_relative the=king to=me and=for=what? this it_glowed/burnt to/for=yourself(m) on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,matter the=this ever,(eat)? we_ate from/more_than the=king if anything given to/for=us )
The men of Israel are using Ten hands are to me in the king as a common expression of their culture to mean “we have ten shares in the king.” 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: [We have ten shares in the king]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְגַם־בְּדָוִד֮ אֲנִ֣י מִמְּךָ֒
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered all/each/any/every (a)_man Yehuda on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (a)_man Yisrael that/for/because/then/when close_relative the=king to=me and=for=what? this it_glowed/burnt to/for=yourself(m) on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,matter the=this ever,(eat)? we_ate from/more_than the=king if anything given to/for=us )
The men of Israel are leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and we also have a greater share in David than you do]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
מִמְּךָ֒ & הֱקִלֹּתַ֔נִי
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered all/each/any/every (a)_man Yehuda on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (a)_man Yisrael that/for/because/then/when close_relative the=king to=me and=for=what? this it_glowed/burnt to/for=yourself(m) on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,matter the=this ever,(eat)? we_ate from/more_than the=king if anything given to/for=us )
The word you is singular here because the author is depicting individual conversations between Israelite and Judean leaders. If you depict this scene in the same way, use the singular form of “you” in your translation if your language marks that distinction. But if you decide to say “men” rather than man, use the plural form of “you.”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וּמַדּ֨וּעַ֙ הֱקִלֹּתַ֔נִי וְלֹא־הָיָ֨ה דְבָרִ֥י רִאשׁ֛וֹן לִ֖י לְהָשִׁ֣יב אֶת־מַלְכִּ֑י
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered all/each/any/every (a)_man Yehuda on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (a)_man Yisrael that/for/because/then/when close_relative the=king to=me and=for=what? this it_glowed/burnt to/for=yourself(m) on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,matter the=this ever,(eat)? we_ate from/more_than the=king if anything given to/for=us )
The men of Israel are using the question form to emphasize that the men of Judah should not have despised them and that they were the first to speak of bringing back the king. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate these questions as statements or as exclamations. Alternate translation: [So you should not have despised me! It was my word that was first, to bring back my king to me!] or [So you should not have despised us! It was our word that was first, to bring back my king to us!]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_answered all/each/any/every (a)_man Yehuda on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (a)_man Yisrael that/for/because/then/when close_relative the=king to=me and=for=what? this it_glowed/burnt to/for=yourself(m) on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,matter the=this ever,(eat)? we_ate from/more_than the=king if anything given to/for=us )
The men of Israel are using the term word to represent what they said by using words. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Were we not the first to say that we should bring our king back to us?]
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וַיִּ֨קֶשׁ֙ דְּבַר־אִ֣ישׁ יְהוּדָ֔ה מִדְּבַ֖ר אִ֥ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

The author is using the term word to represent what the men of Judah and Israel said by using words. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [But the leaders of Judah spoke more harshly than the leaders of Israel spoke]
OET (OET-LV) [fn] and_ every_of _he_answered (the)_man_of Yəhūdāh to the_man_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) if/because is_close the_king to_me and_for_what this has_it_burnt to/for_yourself(m) on the_matter the_this ever_(eat) have_we_eaten from the_king or ever_(be_taken_away) has_it_been_taken_away to/for_us.
19:43 Note: KJB: 2Sam.19.42
OET (OET-RV) The men of Yisrael answered the men of Yehudah, “Our ten tribes give us ten shares in the king—more than you. So why do you look down on us? Weren’t we the first to talk about bringing our king back to Yerushalem?”
¶
But what the men of Yehudah said was harsher than what the ten other tribes said.
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.
