UTNuW Translation Notes:

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]
