(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_broke_through three_of the=powerful/mighty(pl) in,the_camp_of Fəlishtiy and,they_drew waters from,the_well_of house_of food/grain/bread which/who [was]_at,gate and,they_carried_[them] and,they_brought_[them] to/towards Dāvid and=not would to,drink,them and,he_poured_out DOM=them to/for=YHWH )
The pouring out of the water was a symbolic action by which David showed that this water, obtained at great risk by his men, was too precious to drink, and it deserved to be offered to Yahweh instead. 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 offered it as a sacrifice to Yahweh] or [and he poured it out on the ground as an offering to Yahweh]

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.
