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.

and,one_thousand (a)_man with=him/it (Some words not found in UHB: and,one_thousand (a)_man with=him/it of,Benjamin and,Ziba servant_of house_of Shāʼūl/(Saul) and,five_of ten sons_of,his and=twenty servants_of,his with=him/it and,they_rushed_ahead the,Jordan to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the,king )

Bringing 1,000 Benjaminite men was a symbolic action by which Shimei showed that there was now broad support for David’s kingship within his tribe, even though its members had previously supported Saul’s family. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text of your translation or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [and to show his tribe’s support, he brought 1,000 men from Benjamin with him]

The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and Ziba, the young man of the house of Saul, also came]
