OET interlinear 1 KI 20:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

אֶת־כָּל־חֵיל֔⁠וֹ וּ⁠שְׁלֹשִׁ֨ים וּ⁠שְׁנַ֥יִם מֶ֛לֶךְ אִתּ֖⁠וֹ וְ⁠ס֣וּס וָ⁠רָ֑כֶב

DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and, -hₐdad king ʼArām gathered DOM all/each/any/every army_of,his and=thirty and,two king with=him/it and,horse[s] and,chariotry and=he/it_ascended and=he/it_laid_siege on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Shomrōn and,he_fought against,it )

If it would be more natural in your language, you may want to put the information that Ben Hadad brought his horses and chariots with the information that he gathered all of his army. Alternate translation: [all of his army and horse and chariot, and 32 kings with him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וּ⁠שְׁלֹשִׁ֨ים וּ⁠שְׁנַ֥יִם מֶ֛לֶךְ אִתּ֖⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: and, -hₐdad king ʼArām gathered DOM all/each/any/every army_of,his and=thirty and,two king with=him/it and,horse[s] and,chariotry and=he/it_ascended and=he/it_laid_siege on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Shomrōn and,he_fought against,it )

The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and there were 32 kings with him]

Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

וְ⁠ס֣וּס וָ⁠רָ֑כֶב

and,horse[s] and,chariotry

In this verse, the words horse and chariot are singular in form, but they refer to all of Ben Hadad’s horses and chariots as a group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use plural forms in your translation. Alternate translation: [and horses and chariots]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

וַ⁠יַּ֗עַל

(Some words not found in UHB: and, -hₐdad king ʼArām gathered DOM all/each/any/every army_of,his and=thirty and,two king with=him/it and,horse[s] and,chariotry and=he/it_ascended and=he/it_laid_siege on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Shomrōn and,he_fought against,it )

See how you translated the similar expression “he has gone down” in [1:25](../01/25.md). Alternate translation: [And he went]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠יִּלָּ֖חֶם בָּֽ⁠הּ

While the pronoun it refers to the city of Samaria, the author is using that city to represent its defenders. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [and he fought with the Israelite soldiers who were defending it]
