1 SAM 17:41 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-tense

וַ⁠יֵּ֨לֶךְ֙ הַ⁠פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔י הֹלֵ֥ךְ וְ⁠קָרֵ֖ב אֶל־דָּוִ֑ד

and=he/it_went the,Philistine came and,closer to/towards Dāvid

Following the conventions of his language, the author is repeating forms of the verb “came” to indicate progressive action. Express this using the appropriate verbal form in your language. Alternate translation: [And the Philistine kept coming nearer to David]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יֵּ֨לֶךְ֙ הַ⁠פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔י הֹלֵ֥ךְ וְ⁠קָרֵ֖ב אֶל־דָּוִ֑ד

and=he/it_went the,Philistine came and,closer to/towards Dāvid

There could be a suggestion here that Goliath had to walk slowly and deliberately because of the heavy armor he was wearing, in contrast to the way David “ran … to meet him” in [17:48](../17/48.md). Alternate translation: [And the Philistine lumbered slowly toward David]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

הֹלֵ֥ךְ וְ⁠קָרֵ֖ב

came and,closer

This expression conveys a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word near tells for what purpose Goliath was coming. Alternate translation: [coming near] or [approaching]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְ⁠פָנָֽי⁠ו

in,front_of,him

See how you translated this expression in [17:7](../17/07.md). Alternate translation: [was in front of him]
