Behold is rendered “Here” in Good News Translation and others. The servant is calling the LORD’s attention to the situation and to the fact that he is about to meet the women who are coming toward the well. He is still speaking to the LORD.

Spring of water: the narrator spoke of the “well of water” in verse 11. In chapter 16 “spring” and “well” are used to refer to the same source of water. There does not appear to be any reason for shifting from “well” to spring here and then in verse 20 back to “well.” It is probably best, therefore, to translate each verse by using the same term.

Daughters of the men of the city is a biblical way of saying “the young women of the city,” or more generally “the women of the town,” “the daughters of the town’s people.”

To draw water: as in verse 11.
