אַחֲרֵ֨י מִ֤י יָצָא֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אַחֲרֵ֥י מִ֖י אַתָּ֣ה רֹדֵ֑ף
(Some words not found in UHB: just=as says proverb_of the,ancient from,wicked comes_forth wickedness and,hand_of,my not be on/over=you(fs) )
These two phrases mean basically the same thing. For emphasis, David is repeating the idea they express. If it would be clearer in your language, you could combine them and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [After whom has the king of Israel come out violently in pursuit?]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
אַחֲרֵ֨י מִ֤י יָצָא֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אַחֲרֵ֥י מִ֖י אַתָּ֣ה רֹדֵ֑ף
(Some words not found in UHB: just=as says proverb_of the,ancient from,wicked comes_forth wickedness and,hand_of,my not be on/over=you(fs) )
David is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or exclamation. Alternate translation: [The king of Israel has not come out after anyone dangerous! You are not pursuing anyone significant!] or [The king of Israel has not come out in pursuit of anyone who is a danger to him!]

(Some words not found in UHB: just=as says proverb_of the,ancient from,wicked comes_forth wickedness and,hand_of,my not be on/over=you(fs) )
David is addressing Saul directly, but he is speaking respectfully to him in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the second person. Alternate translation: [After whom have you, the king of Israel, come out?] or [You, the king of Israel, have not come out after anyone dangerous!]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אַֽחֲרֵי֙ כֶּ֣לֶב מֵ֔ת
(Some words not found in UHB: just=as says proverb_of the,ancient from,wicked comes_forth wickedness and,hand_of,my not be on/over=you(fs) )
David is speaking as if he were actually a dead dog. In this culture, wild dogs were considered dirty, and they were regarded with contempt. Moreover, a dead dog would be powerless. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [After someone who is powerless and whom people regard with contempt!]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אַחֲרֵ֖י פַּרְעֹ֥שׁ אֶחָֽד
(Some words not found in UHB: just=as says proverb_of the,ancient from,wicked comes_forth wickedness and,hand_of,my not be on/over=you(fs) )
David is speaking as if he were actually a flea, a tiny and insignificant creature. Moreover, David is just one person, but Saul has raised an army of 3,000 soldiers to pursue him. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [After merely one man, who is insignificant!]
