Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
לִ֣י עָלֶ֗יךָ
to=me on,you
David is speaking as if he were in a narrow (tightly confined) space in which he did not have much freedom of movement. In such a situation, a person would feel distress, and that feeling is what David is expressing through this image. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I am very distressed about you]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אָחִי֙ יְה֣וֹנָתָ֔ן
my=brother/kindred Yōnātān/(Yəhōnātān/(Jonathan))
David is speaking as if Jonathan were his actual brother, even though he was not. David is using this expression to emphasize that Jonathan was as dear to him as a brother would have been. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [my dear friend Jonathan]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
נִפְלְאַ֤תָה אַהֲבָֽתְךָ֙ לִ֔י מֵאַהֲבַ֖ת נָשִֽׁים

David is saying that his bond of friendship with Jonathan meant more to him than any romantic relationship with a woman. See the discussion of this statement in the Introduction to this chapter.

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.
