וַתִּקֹּ֣ד בַּת־שֶׁ֔בַע וַתִּשְׁתַּ֖חוּ לַמֶּ֑לֶךְ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,she_bowed_low daughter_of seven and,she_bowed_down to/for=the_king and=he/it_said the=king what? [is]_to,you )
Bowing and prostrating oneself to someone was a symbolic action by which a person showed great respect and submission. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text of your translation or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [And Bathsheba bowed down and stretched herself out completely on the ground in front of the king to show him honor]

what? (Some words not found in UHB: and,she_bowed_low daughter_of seven and,she_bowed_down to/for=the_king and=he/it_said the=king what? [is]_to,you )
The king is using What to you as a common expression of his culture to mean “What do you want?” or “What is your concern?” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [What is your concern]

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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
