OET interlinear 1 KI 1:28

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

וַ⁠יַּ֨עַן הַ⁠מֶּ֤לֶךְ דָּוִד֙ וַ⁠יֹּ֔אמֶר

and,answered the=king Dāvid and=he/it_said

The two words answered and said express a single idea. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this idea in a different way. Alternate translation: “And the king David answered him by saying” or “And the king David said”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יֹּ֔אמֶר

and=he/it_said

Here, the author implies that David spoke to some of his servants. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “and said to some of his attendants”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

וַ⁠תָּבֹא֙ לִ⁠פְנֵ֣י הַ⁠מֶּ֔לֶךְ וַֽ⁠תַּעֲמֹ֖ד לִ⁠פְנֵ֥י הַ⁠מֶּֽלֶךְ

and,came to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the=king and,stood to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the,king

This sentence contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could shorten the sentence. Alternate translation: “And she came and stood to the face of the king”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠תָּבֹא֙

and,came

Here the author implies that Nathan left the king before Bathsheba came back in (see [1:32](../01/32.md)). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit here. Alternate translation: “And Nathan went away, and Bathsheba came”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / go

וַ⁠תָּבֹא֙

and,came

In a context such as this, your language might say “went” instead of came. Alternate translation: “And she went”
