OET interlinear 1KI 2:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

וַ⁠יִּשְׁכַּ֥ב דָּוִ֖ד עִם־אֲבֹתָ֑י⁠ו

and,slept Dāvid with fathers,his

The author is referring to David’s death in a polite way by using the phrase lay down with his fathers, which refers to being buried near one’s ancestors. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a polite way of referring to this in your language, or you could state this plainly. Alternate translation: “And David passed away” or “And David completed his life”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וַ⁠יִּקָּבֵ֖ר

and,buried

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: “and they buried him”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בְּ⁠עִ֥יר דָּוִֽד

in/on/at/with,city Dāvid

Here, the phrase the city of David refers to a specific area within the southeastern part of the city of Jerusalem. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “in Jerusalem, in the section called the city of David”
