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 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.

(Occurrence 0) May you be blessed by Yahweh
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shāʼūl blessed you_all to/for=YHWH that/for/because/then/when had_compassion for,me )
This can be translated in active form. Alternate translation: “I hope that Yahweh blesses you”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
(Occurrence 0) you have had compassion on me
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shāʼūl blessed you_all to/for=YHWH that/for/because/then/when had_compassion for,me )
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word compassion, you can express the same idea with an adjective such as “kind.” Saul says this because they had told him about David and they were willing to help Saul capture David. Alternate translation: “you have been kind to me” or “you have kindly told this to me”
