uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

וּ⁠מֶ֣לֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵ֡ל וִֽ⁠יהוֹשָׁפָ֣ט מֶֽלֶךְ־יְהוּדָ֡ה יֹשְׁבִים֩ אִ֨ישׁ עַל־כִּסְא֜⁠וֹ מְלֻבָּשִׁ֤ים בְּגָדִים֙

and,the_king_of (Some words not found in UHB: and,the_king_of Yisrael and,Jehoshaphat king Yehuda sitting (a)_man on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne_of,his arrayed robes at,the_threshing_floor_of entrance_of gate_of Shomrōn and=all the,prophets prophesying before,,them )

The author is providing background information to help readers understand what happens next in the story. Micaiah demonstrated courage and faithfulness to Yahweh by speaking a difficult message truthfully despite the intimidating appearance of these kings. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אִ֨ישׁ עַל־כִּסְא֜⁠וֹ

(a)_man on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (Some words not found in UHB: and,the_king_of Yisrael and,Jehoshaphat king Yehuda sitting (a)_man on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne_of,his arrayed robes at,the_threshing_floor_of entrance_of gate_of Shomrōn and=all the,prophets prophesying before,,them )

The author is using a man on his throne as a common expression of his culture to mean “each on his own throne.” 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: [each on his own throne]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

וְ⁠כָ֨ל־הַ⁠נְּבִיאִ֔ים

and=all (Some words not found in UHB: and,the_king_of Yisrael and,Jehoshaphat king Yehuda sitting (a)_man on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in throne_of,his arrayed robes at,the_threshing_floor_of entrance_of gate_of Shomrōn and=all the,prophets prophesying before,,them )

The author says all the prophets as a generalization for emphasis. He may not mean that all 400 of Ahab’s prophets were present at this location. He may mean that many of them were present and were prophesying. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: [And all the prophets who were there]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לִ⁠פְנֵי⁠הֶֽם

before,,them

Here, to their faces represents being in the presence of these kings. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [in their presence]
