20:12 OSHB note: We read punctuation in L differently from BHS.
OET (OET-RV) Amasa’s bloody body was in the middle of the road, and when the young man saw that everyone was stopping to look at it, he dragged it off the road onto the grass and threw a cloth over it.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
הָאִ֜ישׁ
the=man
The author assumes that his readers will know that by the man, he means the “man from the young man of Joab” whom he describes in the previous verse. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the man from the young men of Joab]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר רָאָ֔ה כָּל־הַבָּ֥א עָלָ֖יו וְעָמָֽד
(Some words not found in UHB: and,Amasa lay_wallowing in,blood in_the=middle of,the_highway and=he/it_saw the=man that/for/because/then/when stopped all/each/any/every the,people and,he_brought_round DOM ˊAmāsāʼ from/more_than the,highway the=field and,he_threw on/upon/above=him/it garment just=as saw all/each/any/every (the)_[one,who]_came on/upon/above=him/it and,he_stopped )
If it would be more natural in your language, you may want to put the information that soldiers stood before the information that this happened as they were coming to where Amasa was. Alternate translation: [because he saw that everyone stopped when they came to him]

כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר רָאָ֔ה כָּל־הַבָּ֥א עָלָ֖יו וְעָמָֽד
(Some words not found in UHB: and,Amasa lay_wallowing in,blood in_the=middle of,the_highway and=he/it_saw the=man that/for/because/then/when stopped all/each/any/every the,people and,he_brought_round DOM ˊAmāsāʼ from/more_than the,highway the=field and,he_threw on/upon/above=him/it garment just=as saw all/each/any/every (the)_[one,who]_came on/upon/above=him/it and,he_stopped )
It might seem that this statement provides extra information that would not be natural to express in your language, since it basically repeats what the author says in the first part of the verse. If so, you could present this information only once. The UST models one way to do that.

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.
