Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Kings 15:5:

• Kupsabiny: “who used to do good things before God. David would not change and turn away from whatever God told him, but only when he killed Uriah who belonged to the community of the Hittites.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “David had done work that was pleasing to the LORD. Except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite, he obeyed the commands of the LORD in all matters for his whole life. For that reason the LORD did like this.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “For David did what was right in the sight of the LORD, and while he was alive he did- not -disobey the commands of the LORD, except only to what he had-done to Uria the Hittite.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Yahweh did that because David had always done what pleased Yahweh and because David had always obeyed Yahweh. The only time when he disobeyed Yahweh was when he caused Uriah to be killed.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
