כֹּֽה־יַעֲשׂ֤וּן אֱלֹהִים֙ וְכֹ֣ה יוֹסִפ֔וּן כִּֽי־כָעֵ֤ת מָחָר֙ אָשִׂ֣ים אֶֽת־נַפְשְׁךָ֔ כְּנֶ֖פֶשׁ אַחַ֥ד מֵהֶֽם
(Some words not found in UHB: and,she_sent ʼĪzeⱱel/(Jezebel) messenger to/towards ʼĒliyyāh to=say so may,they_do ʼElohīm and,thus may,they_add that/for/because/then/when about,time tomorrow make DOM life_of,your like_[the],life one of,them )
Following the custom of this culture, Jezebel is swearing an oath by stating a condition and the consequence she is asking the gods to make happen if the condition is met. She is stating the consequence before the condition. If it would be helpful to your readers, in your translation, you could state the condition before the consequence. Alternate translation: [Unless I have made your life like the life of one from them by this time tomorrow, thus may the gods do, and thus may they add]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְכֹ֣ה יוֹסִפ֔וּן
and,thus may,they_add
See how you translated the similar expression “and thus may he add” in [2:23](../02/23.md). Alternate translation: [and may they do even worse]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
