OET interlinear 2 SAM 3:15

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-kinship

אִ֑ישׁ

(a)_man

Since David refers to Michal as “my wife” in the previous verse, it may not be appropriate in your language and culture to describe Paltiel as her husband here. If that is the case, you can use a different expression. Alternate translation: [the man to whom her father Saul had given her]

Note 2 topic: writing-participants

פַּלְטִיאֵ֥ל בֶּן־לָֽיִשׁ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_sent (a)_man -bshet and,he,took_her from,with (a)_man from,with Palţī^ʼēl/(Paltiel) son_of Layish )

Here the author is introducing Paltiel as a new participant in the story. Your language may have its own way of introducing new participants that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [a man named Paltiel who was the son of Laish]

Note 3 topic: translate-names

פַּלְטִיאֵ֥ל

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_sent (a)_man -bshet and,he,took_her from,with (a)_man from,with Palţī^ʼēl/(Paltiel) son_of Layish )

See the discussion in the Introduction to this chapter of why this man is called Paltiel here but Palti when he first appears in the story in [1 Samuel 25:44](../../1sa/25/44.md). We recommend that you use these two different versions of his name in these places in your translation.
