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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וְ⁠כָל־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ וִ⁠יהוּדָ֔ה אֹהֵ֖ב אֶת־דָּוִ֑ד כִּֽי־ה֛וּא יוֹצֵ֥א וָ⁠בָ֖א לִ⁠פְנֵי⁠הֶֽם

and=all Yisrael and=Yəhūdāh/(Yihudah) loved DOM Dāvid that/for/because/then/when he/it went_out and,came_in before,face/front,them

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: [But since David was going out and coming in to their face, all of Israel and Judah were loving David]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

וְ⁠כָל־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ וִ⁠יהוּדָ֔ה

and=all Yisrael and=Yəhūdāh/(Yihudah)

The author is making a generalization for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: [But people throughout Judah and the rest of Israel]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ה֛וּא יוֹצֵ֥א וָ⁠בָ֖א לִ⁠פְנֵי⁠הֶֽם

he/it went_out and,came_in before,face/front,them

As in [18:13](../18/13.md), the author is using the term face by association to mean “front,” and he is using the term their by association to mean the army of Israel and Judah. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use equivalent expressions or plain language. Alternate translation: [he was going out and coming in at the front of their soldiers]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ה֛וּא יוֹצֵ֥א וָ⁠בָ֖א לִ⁠פְנֵי⁠הֶֽם

he/it went_out and,came_in before,face/front,them

See how you translated this expression in [18:13](../18/13.md). Alternate translation: [he was leading their soldiers into battle]
