Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וַיִּנָּ֥גֶף יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לִפְנֵ֣י פְלִשְׁתִּ֑ים
and,defeated Yisrael to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before Fəlishtiy
See the discussion of the term face in the Introduction to 1 Samuel, and see how you translated the similar expression in [1:12](../01/12.md). Alternate translation: [and Israel was struck by the Philistines]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וַיִּנָּ֥גֶף יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לִפְנֵ֣י פְלִשְׁתִּ֑ים
and,defeated Yisrael to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before Fəlishtiy
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. The word translated was struck here, meaning “was defeated,” is different from the one translated they struck, meaning “they killed,” in the next sentence. Alternate translation: [and the Philistines struck the Israelites] or [and the Philistines defeated the Israelites]
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיַּכּ֤וּ
and,killed
The pronoun they refers to the Philistine soldiers. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [and the Philistines struck]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַיַּכּ֤וּ
and,killed
See the discussion of the term struck in the Introduction to 1 Samuel. Alternate translation: [And they killed]
