Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
אִמְרִי־נָא֙ לִשְׁלֹמֹ֣ה הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ כִּ֥י לֹֽא־יָשִׁ֖יב אֶת־פָּנָ֑יִךְ
speak now to,Solomon the=king that/for/because/then/when not refuse DOM faces_of,you
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the second clause gives the reason for the result that the first clause describes. Alternate translation: “Solomon the king will not turn back your face, so please speak to him”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
לֹֽא־יָשִׁ֖יב אֶת־פָּנָ֑יִךְ
not refuse DOM faces_of,you
Here Adonijah speaks as if he is confident that Solomon will not physically turn back Bathsheba’s face. He means that he is sure that Solomon will not reject her request nor shame her. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he will not shame you by rejecting you” or “he will not say no to what you request”

ʼAⱱīshag
The word Abishag is the name of a woman.
Note 4 topic: translate-names
הַשּׁוּנַמִּ֖ית
the,Shunammite
The word Shunammite refers to someone who is from the town of Shunem, which was in the hill country to the southwest of the Sea of Galilee. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer more directly to the town of Shunem. See how you translated this word in 1:3. Alternate translation: “from Shunem”
2:16-18 let me marry Abishag: Possessing the king’s concubine was a mark of royal legitimacy. When David became king, he was given Saul’s wives (2 Sam 12:7-8). The rebellious Absalom claimed David’s concubines (2 Sam 16:20-22).

OET (OET-RV) He said, “Please speak to Shelomoh the king because he wouldn’t refuse you. Ask him to give me Avishag the Shunammite as my wife.”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
