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.

13:1–16:13 Saul’s fall from power involved a threefold sequence, as had his rise to power (see study note on 9:1–11:15): (1) He offered the sacrifices himself and did not wait for Samuel (13:1-14); (2) he made a rash oath that put Jonathan’s life in danger (14:1-46); and (3) he failed to obey God by eliminating the Amalekites and their belongings (15:1-35).

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 because the people were distressed, a man of Israel saw that it was narrow to him]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
צַר־ל֔וֹ
in_distress to=him/it
The author is speaking as if each Israelite soldier saw that he was in a physically confined space. He is using this image to mean that each soldier recognized that he was in a dangerous and difficult situation. Your language may have a comparable image that you could use in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: [he was in a tight situation] or [he was in very difficult circumstances]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
נִגַּ֖שׂ הָעָ֑ם
hard_pressed the,troops
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: [the Philistines were distressing the people] or [the Philistines had taken up in a position from which they were dangerously threatening the Israelite soldiers]
