Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
וַיִּשָּׁבַ֥ע הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ וַיֹּאמַ֑ר
and,swore the=king and,said
The two words swore 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 swore to her by saying” or “And the king swore”
Note 2 topic: writing-oathformula
חַי־יְהוָ֕ה
he/it_lived YHWH
Here David makes an oath that he will do what he promises in the following verse. He is indicating that Bathsheba can rely on his promise as much as she can rely on the fact that Yahweh is alive. Use a natural way in your language to express this kind of oath. Alternate translation: “As certainly as Yahweh is alive” or “You can be as confident about this as you are that Yahweh is alive”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אֲשֶׁר־פָּדָ֥ה אֶת־נַפְשִׁ֖י מִכָּל־צָרָֽה
which/who redeemed DOM life,my from=all trouble
Here David speaks of how God has rescued him from every distress as if God had ransomed his life from the distress. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “who has saved my life in every distress”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
נַפְשִׁ֖י מִכָּל־צָרָֽה
life,my from=all trouble
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of life and distress, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “me whenever anything distressed me”
1:28-30 David reassured Bathsheba that Solomon would be the next king by repeating his earlier vow in God’s name (see 1:17).

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.
