uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

אַנְשֵׁ֖י יָבֵ֣ישׁ גִּלְעָ֑ד

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_sent Dāvid messengers to/towards men_of Yāⱱēsh/(Jabesh)- -gilˊād and=he/it_said to,them blessed you(pl) to/for=YHWH which/who shown the,loyalty the=this with lord(s)_of,your(pl) with Shāʼūl/(Saul) and,you(pl)_have_buried DOM=him/it )

Here the masculine term men has a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: [the people of Jabesh Gilead]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠יֹּ֣אמֶר אֲלֵי⁠הֶ֗ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_sent Dāvid messengers to/towards men_of Yāⱱēsh/(Jabesh)- -gilˊād and=he/it_said to,them blessed you(pl) to/for=YHWH which/who shown the,loyalty the=this with lord(s)_of,your(pl) with Shāʼūl/(Saul) and,you(pl)_have_buried DOM=him/it )

The author is using the term he said by association to mean that David said this through the messengers he sent. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [and they said to them on his behalf]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

בְּרֻכִ֤ים אַתֶּם֙ לַֽ⁠יהוָ֔ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_sent Dāvid messengers to/towards men_of Yāⱱēsh/(Jabesh)- -gilˊād and=he/it_said to,them blessed you(pl) to/for=YHWH which/who shown the,loyalty the=this with lord(s)_of,your(pl) with Shāʼūl/(Saul) and,you(pl)_have_buried DOM=him/it )

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [May Yahweh bless you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

אַתֶּם֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_sent Dāvid messengers to/towards men_of Yāⱱēsh/(Jabesh)- -gilˊād and=he/it_said to,them blessed you(pl) to/for=YHWH which/who shown the,loyalty the=this with lord(s)_of,your(pl) with Shāʼūl/(Saul) and,you(pl)_have_buried DOM=him/it )

The words you and your are plural here because David is addressing all the people of Jabesh Gilead. So use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction, here and through [verse 7](../02/07.md).

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

עֲשִׂיתֶ֜ם הַ⁠חֶ֣סֶד הַ⁠זֶּ֗ה עִם־אֲדֹֽנֵי⁠כֶם֙ עִם־שָׁא֔וּל וַֽ⁠תִּקְבְּר֖וּ אֹתֽ⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_sent Dāvid messengers to/towards men_of Yāⱱēsh/(Jabesh)- -gilˊād and=he/it_said to,them blessed you(pl) to/for=YHWH which/who shown the,loyalty the=this with lord(s)_of,your(pl) with Shāʼūl/(Saul) and,you(pl)_have_buried DOM=him/it )

This expression conveys a single idea by using two phrases connected with and. The phrase have buried him tells in what way the people have done this kindness with Saul. Alternate translation: [you have done this kindness with your master, with Saul, by burying him]
