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.

בְּסֵ֣תֶר הָהָ֔ר
in/on/at/with,ravine_of the,mountain
By in the cover of the mountain, the author means in a place where the mountain provided concealment. Such a place would do that because it was where the terrain sloped downward out of view. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [into a hollow of the mountain]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
לִקְרָאתָ֑הּ
toward,meet,her
By to meet her, the author means that David and his men were traveling in her direction. They did not know she was coming, and they were not intending to meet with her personally. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [in her direction]
