If it would be more natural in your language, you could express the background information before narrating what Bathsheba did. Alternate translation: “Now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was attending the king in his chamber. Then Bathsheba came to the king there”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go
וַתָּבֹ֨א בַת־שֶׁ֤בֶע
and,went בַת שֶׁבֶע
In a context such as this, your language might say “went” instead of came. Alternate translation: “And Bathsheba went”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
הַחַ֔דְרָה
the,room,in
Here, the word chamber refers to the private room in which the king slept. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “at the room in which he slept”
Note 4 topic: translate-names

The word Abishag is the name of a woman. She has already been mentioned in 1:3.
Note 5 topic: translate-names
הַשּׁ֣וּנַמִּ֔ית
the,Shunammite
The word Shunammite refers to someone who is from the town of Shunem, which was in the hill country to the southwest of the Sea of Galilee. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer more directly to the town of Shunem. See how you expressed the idea in 1:3. Alternate translation: “from Shunem”
