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.

23:1-29 Thanks to informants (23:7, 13), Saul was able to stay on David’s trail. David also had informants, allowing him to keep one step ahead of Saul (23:1, 9, 15, 25). David’s chief advantage was access to divine guidance and resources (23:2, 4, 12), which Saul lacked.

בְּרוּכִ֥ים אַתֶּ֖ם לַֽיהוָ֑ה כִּ֥י חֲמַלְתֶּ֖ם עָלָֽי
blessed you_all to/for=YHWH that/for/because/then/when had_compassion for,me
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: [Since you have had compassion on me, blessed be you by Yahweh!]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
אַתֶּ֖ם & חֲמַלְתֶּ֖ם
you_all & had_compassion
The instances of the word you are plural here and through verse 23 because Saul is addressing all of the Ziphites, so use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
חֲמַלְתֶּ֖ם עָלָֽי
had_compassion for,me
Saul is using the term compassion by association to mean the help that people provide to others for whom they feel compassion. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [you have helped me]
