1 Samuel 24:4

Hebrew	וַ֠יָּבֹא אֶל גִּדְר֨וֹת הַצֹּ֤אן עַל הַדֶּ֨רֶךְ֙ וְשָׁ֣ם מְעָרָ֔ה וַיָּבֹ֥א שָׁא֖וּל לְהָסֵ֣ךְ אֶתplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigאֵת hebrew The Hebrew אֵת word does not have a corresponding word in English. In Hebrew, it is a marker of the accusative, i.e. the word following it is the object of the sentence. For example, in Genesis 1:1 the word is preceded by בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים ( רַגְלָ֑יו וְדָוִד֙ וַאֲנָשָׁ֔יו בְּיַרְכְּתֵ֥י הַמְּעָרָ֖ה יֹשְׁבִֽים
ESV	And the men of David said to him, “Here is the day of which the LORD said to you, 'Behold, I will give your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you.'“Then David arose and stealthily cut off a corner of Saul's robe.
NIV	The men said, “This is the day the LORD spoke of when he said to you, 'I will give your enemy into your hands for you to deal with as you wish.'” Then David crept up unnoticed and cut off a corner of Saul's robe.
NLT	“Now's your opportunity!” David's men whispered to him. “Today the LORD is telling you, 'I will certainly put your enemy into your power, to do with as you wish.' ” So David crept forward and cut off a piece of the hem of Saul's robe.
