UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

וַ⁠יֵּ֥לֶךְ הָל֖וֹךְ וָ⁠רָ֑ב

and=he/it_went to_go and,more

The author is repeating forms of the verb “go” to intensify his expression of the idea it expresses. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [that it surely went and became great]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

וַ⁠יֵּ֥לֶךְ הָל֖וֹךְ וָ⁠רָ֑ב

and=he/it_went to_go and,more

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two verbal phrases connected with “and.” The phrase going, it went tells in what way the tumult became great. Alternate translation: [that it surely became great continually] or [that it surely kept increasing]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אֱסֹ֥ף יָדֶֽ⁠ךָ

withdraw hand_of,your

Saul is using the term hand by association to mean the activity that Ahijah was performing with his hands. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [Cease your activity]
