OET interlinear 1 KI 1:15

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go

וַ⁠תָּבֹ֨א בַת־שֶׁ֤בֶע

(Some words not found in UHB: and,she_went Bath- -sheⱱaˊ to/towards the=king to,the,room and,the,king old very and,Abishag the,Shunammite attending DOM the,king )

In a context such as this, your language might say “went” instead of came. Alternate translation: [So Bathsheba went]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַ⁠חַ֔דְרָ⁠ה

to,the,room

The author assumes that readers will understand that by the room, he means David’s bedroom. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and she went into his bedroom to speak with him]

Note 3 topic: writing-background

וְ⁠הַ⁠מֶּ֖לֶךְ זָקֵ֣ן מְאֹ֑ד וַֽ⁠אֲבִישַׁג֙ הַ⁠שּׁ֣וּנַמִּ֔ית מְשָׁרַ֖ת אֶת־הַ⁠מֶּֽלֶךְ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,she_went Bath- -sheⱱaˊ to/towards the=king to,the,room and,the,king old very and,Abishag the,Shunammite attending DOM the,king )

Here the author is providing background information to help readers understand what is happening in the story. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

מְשָׁרַ֖ת אֶת־הַ⁠מֶּֽלֶךְ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,she_went Bath- -sheⱱaˊ to/towards the=king to,the,room and,the,king old very and,Abishag the,Shunammite attending DOM the,king )

Since the author uses the phrase the king earlier in the verse, it may be more natural in your language to use a pronoun here. Alternate translation: [was serving him]
