Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
כִּתְּר֤וּ אֶת־בִּנְיָמִן֙
surrounded DOM Binyāmīnites
The pronoun They refers to the Israelite soldiers. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [The Israelite soldiers surrounded the Benjaminites]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
הִרְדִיפֻ֔הוּ
pursued,them
The author seems to mean implicitly that the Israelite soldiers encouraged one another to pursue the Benjaminites who were trying to escape. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [they encouraged one another to pursue the fleeing Benjaminites]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
מִמִּזְרַח־שָֽׁמֶשׁ
toward,rise_of sun
The author is using the term rising of the sun by association to mean the east, since that is where the sun rises. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [east of the city]
