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.

The author assumes that his readers will know that Saul wanted to see whether David really was too sick to get out of bed. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [to see whether David really was too sick to get out of bed, saying, “If necessary, bring him up to me in the bed so that I can kill him”]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

הַעֲל֨וּ אֹת֧⁠וֹ

bring_~_up DOM=him/it

In keeping with the conventions of his language and culture, Saul seems to be marking travel for change in elevation. Apparently Saul lived on the hill of Gibeah, while David lived in the town below the hill. See how you translated the comparable expression in [1:3](../01/03.md). Alternate translation: [Bring him]
