(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went Dāvid to_increase and,becoming_great and,Yahweh god_of armies/messengers with=him/it )
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [And since Yahweh, the God of Armies, was with him, David went, going and becoming great]

וַיֵּ֥לֶךְ דָּוִ֖ד הָל֣וֹךְ וְגָד֑וֹל
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went Dāvid to_increase and,becoming_great and,Yahweh god_of armies/messengers with=him/it )
The author is using went, going and becoming great as a common expression of his culture to mean “kept becoming greater and greater.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And David kept becoming greater and greater]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
עִמּֽוֹ
with=him/it
See how you translated the similar expression in 3:12. Alternate translation: [was helping him]
OET-LV And_ Dāvid _he/it_went going and_becoming_great and_YHWH the_god_of soldiers/messengers with_him/it.
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.
