(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_called king Yisrael to/from=all/each/any/every elders_of the=earth/land and=he/it_said look now and,see that/for/because/then/when trouble this looking_for that/for/because/then/when Shalah to=me for,wives_of,my and,for,children_of,my and,for,silver_of,my and,for,gold_of,my and=not refuse from,him )

Ahab is using know and see as a common expression of his culture to mean “consider carefully.” 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. If you have already translated the book of 2 Samuel, see how you translated the similar expression in 2 Samuel 24:13. Alternate translation: [consider carefully]
