Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Saul is using this kinship term to acknowledge David as the husband of his daughter. Your language may have its own term or expression for this relationship. Be sure that the term you choose is affectionate and embracing. Previously Saul has referred to David disdainfully as the “son of Jesse.” Here he acknowledges him as a member by marriage of the royal family. Alternate translation: [my son-in-law]

This expression conveys a single idea by using two phrases connected with and. The expression lifted up his voice tells in what way Saul wept. Alternate translation: [And Saul wept in a loud voice] or [And Saul wept loudly]
