UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

וְ⁠כָל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֞ל שָׁמְע֣וּ לֵ⁠אמֹ֗ר

and=all Yisrael heard to=say

The term saying introduces a direct quotation, but it is a quotation of what Saul’s messengers were saying, not what the Israelites were saying in response. You may wish to indicate this in your translation, using a natural way of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: [And all of Israel heard the messengers saying]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

הִכָּ֤ה שָׁאוּל֙

defeated Shāʼūl

The author is using Saul’s name to represent his army. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Saul’s army has struck]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הִכָּ֤ה שָׁאוּל֙

defeated Shāʼūl

See how you translated this expression in [13:3](../13/03.md). Alternate translation: [Saul’s army has destroyed]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

נִבְאַשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בַּ⁠פְּלִשְׁתִּ֑ים

become_odious Yisrael in/on/at/with,Philistines

The author is speaking as if the Israelites had actually made themselves smell so bad that they were offensive to the Philistines. He is using this image to mean that Israel had provoked the Philistines. Your language may have a comparable image that you could use in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: [Israel has now incensed the Philistines] or [Israel has now provoked the Philistines]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וַ⁠יִּצָּעֲק֥וּ הָ⁠עָ֛ם אַחֲרֵ֥י שָׁא֖וּל הַ⁠גִּלְגָּֽל

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: [And Saul summoned the people after him to Gilgal]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠יִּצָּעֲק֥וּ הָ⁠עָ֛ם אַחֲרֵ֥י שָׁא֖וּל הַ⁠גִּלְגָּֽל

and,summoned the,people after Shāʼūl the,Gilgal

The author is speaking as if Saul were walking somewhere and he wanted these Israelite solders to walk after or behind him. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And Saul summoned the other Israelite soldiers to come to Gilgal and serve under his command]
