Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations.

BrLXXΚαὶ ὑπὲρ τοῦ λόγου ὡς κατενύγη Ἀχαὰβ ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπορεύετο κλαίων, καὶ διέῤῥηξε τὸν χιτῶνα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐζώσατο σάκκον ἐπὶ τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐνήστευσε· καὶ περιεβάλετο σάκκον ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ ἐπάταξε Ναβουθαὶ τὸν Ἰεζραηλίτην, καὶ ἐπορεύθη.

BrTrAnd because of the word, Achaab was pierced with sorrow [fn]before the Lord, and he both went weeping, and rent his garment, and girt sackcloth upon his body, and fasted; he put on sackcloth also in the day that he smote Nabuthai the Jezraelite, and went his way.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

20:13-34 Two distinct battles ensued, one in Samaria (20:13-25) and one at Aphek (20:26-34). The writer included similar details regarding both: (1) pre-battle counsel (20:13-14, 23-25), (2) pre-battle conditions (20:15-16, 26-28), (3) victory for Israel despite the superior numbers of the enemy (20:17-21, 29-30), and (4) post-battle counsel (20:22, 31).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

The people of Israel were mustered and supplied

(Some words not found in UHB: and=the_sons Yisrael mustered and,provisioned and,went to,meet,them and,camped sons_of Yisrael opposite,them like,two_of little_flocks_of goats and,Arameans filled DOM the=earth/land )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “The Israelite army also gathered together, and the commanders gave the arms that they needed for the battle”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

like two little flocks of goats

(Some words not found in UHB: and=the_sons Yisrael mustered and,provisioned and,went to,meet,them and,camped sons_of Yisrael opposite,them like,two_of little_flocks_of goats and,Arameans filled DOM the=earth/land )

This simile compares the Israelite army to two little flocks of goats. Alternate translation: “The Israelite army appeared to be small and weak like two flocks of goats”
