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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וַתִּכְבַּ֤ד הַמִּלְחָמָה֙ אֶל־שָׁא֔וּל
and,pressed_hard the,battle to/towards Shāʼūl/(Saul)
The author is speaking of the battle as if it were a heavy physical weight pressing down on Saul. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And the Philistines fought fiercely against Saul]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַיִּמְצָאֻ֥הוּ הַמּוֹרִ֖ים אֲנָשִׁ֣ים בַּקָּ֑שֶׁת & מֵהַמּוֹרִֽים
and,found,him the,archers men in/on/at/with,bow & by,the,archers
Since the term shooters could describe either soldiers throwing javelins or soldiers launching arrows, the author adds the phrase the men with the bow to clarify his meaning. Your language may have a single term that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [And the archers … from the archers]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַיָּ֥חֶל מְאֹ֖ד מֵהַמּוֹרִֽים
and,wounded very by,the,archers
By this phrase, the author means that Saul was in great pain because the archers had wounded him with arrows. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [And he writhed greatly in pain because the archers had wounded him with arrows]
