OET interlinear 1 KI 20:29

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַֽ⁠יַּחֲנ֧וּ אֵ֦לֶּה נֹ֥כַח אֵ֖לֶּה שִׁבְעַ֣ת יָמִ֑ים

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_encamped these opposite these seven_of days and=he/it_was in_the=day the=seventh and,it_drew_near the,battle and,they_struck_down sons_of Yisrael DOM ʼArām hundred thousand foot_soldiers in/on=day one(ms) )

The author is using these opposite these as a common expression of his culture to mean “opposite each other” or “in opposing positions.” 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: [And they camped opposite each other for seven days]

Note 2 topic: translate-ordinal

בַּ⁠יּ֣וֹם הַ⁠שְּׁבִיעִ֗י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_encamped these opposite these seven_of days and=he/it_was in_the=day the=seventh and,it_drew_near the,battle and,they_struck_down sons_of Yisrael DOM ʼArām hundred thousand foot_soldiers in/on=day one(ms) )

If your language would not represent a number in a form such as seventh, you could represent this number in a form that your language would use. Alternate translation: [on day seven] or [after seven days]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠תִּקְרַב֙ הַ⁠מִּלְחָמָ֔ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_encamped these opposite these seven_of days and=he/it_was in_the=day the=seventh and,it_drew_near the,battle and,they_struck_down sons_of Yisrael DOM ʼArām hundred thousand foot_soldiers in/on=day one(ms) )

The author is using the battle approached as a common expression of his culture to mean “the armies advanced against each other” or “the battle began.” 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: [that the battle was joined] or [that the armies advanced against each other]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יַּכּ֨וּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_encamped these opposite these seven_of days and=he/it_was in_the=day the=seventh and,it_drew_near the,battle and,they_struck_down sons_of Yisrael DOM ʼArām hundred thousand foot_soldiers in/on=day one(ms) )

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 they killed 100,000 foot soldiers in one day]
