OET (OET-LV) And_answered the_king Shəlomoh and_he/it_said to_mother_his and_to/for_why [are]_you asking DOM ʼAⱱīshag the_Shūnammit for_ʼAdoniyyāh and_ask to_him/it DOM the_royalty if/because he my_brother/kindred the_older than_I and_to/for_him/it and_for_ʼEⱱyātār the_priest/officer and_for_Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) the_son of_Tsərūyāh/(Zeruiah).
OET (OET-RV) King Shelomoh answered his mother, “You’re requesting Avishag the Shunammite for Adoniyyah! You might as well request the throne for him, because he’s my brother and he’s older than I am! And then he’ll want Evyatar the priest and Tseruyah’s son Yoav!”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
וַיַּעַן֩ הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֜ה וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לְאִמּ֗וֹ
and,answered the=king Shəlomoh and=he/it_said to,mother,his
The two words answered and said express a single idea. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this idea in a different way. Alternate translation: “And the king Solomon answered by saying to his mother” or “And the king Solomon responded to his mother”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וְלָמָה֩ אַ֨תְּ שֹׁאֶ֜לֶת אֶת־אֲבִישַׁ֤ג הַשֻּׁנַמִּית֙ לַאֲדֹ֣נִיָּ֔הוּ
and,to/for,why? you asking DOM ʼAⱱīshag the,Shunammite for,Adonijah
Solomon is using the question form to rebuke Bathsheba. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “I am not pleased that you are requesting Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah.” or “No longer request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah!”
Note 3 topic: translate-names
אֶת־אֲבִישַׁ֤ג הַשֻּׁנַמִּית֙
DOM ʼAⱱīshag the,Shunammite
The phrase Abishag the Shunammite is the name of a woman who was from the town of Shunem. See how you translated this phrase in 2:17.
Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
וְשַֽׁאֲלִי־לוֹ֙ אֶת־הַמְּלוּכָ֔ה כִּ֛י ה֥וּא אָחִ֖י הַגָּד֣וֹל מִמֶּ֑נִּי וְלוֹ֙ וּלְאֶבְיָתָ֣ר הַכֹּהֵ֔ן וּלְיוֹאָ֖ב בֶּן־צְרוּיָֽה
and,ask to=him/it DOM the=royalty that/for/because/then/when he/it my=brother/kindred the,older than,I and=to/for=him/it and,for,Abiathar the=priest/officer and,for,Joab son_of Tsərū\sup_yāh/(Zeruiah)
If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of these clauses, since the second clause gives the reason for the result that the first clause describes, and the third clause gives more information about what the first clause describes. Alternate translation: “Then, since he is my brother, older than I, request for him the kingship, for him and for Abiathar the priest and for Joab the son of Zeruiah”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / irony
וְשַֽׁאֲלִי־לוֹ֙ אֶת־הַמְּלוּכָ֔ה
and,ask to=him/it DOM the=royalty
Here Solomon commands the opposite of what he wants in order to make a point. He means that asking him to allow Adonijah to marry Abishag is like asking him to give the kingdom to Adonijah. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “You are really requesting for him the kingdom” or “You might as well request for him the kingdom”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ה֥וּא אָחִ֖י הַגָּד֣וֹל מִמֶּ֑נִּי
he/it my=brother/kindred the,older than,I
In Solomon’s culture, the oldest son of a king was usually the son who became the next king. Solomon is implying that Adonijah is already older than him, so if he married one of David’s closest attendants, he would have an even stronger claim to be the real king. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “he already has a claim to be king because he is my brother, older than I” or “marrying Abishag would make it even easier for him, as my older brother, to become king”
Note 7 topic: translate-names
צְרוּיָֽה
Tsərū\sup_yāh/(Zeruiah)
The word Zeruiah is the name of a woman. She was David’s sister.
2:22-25 Because Adonijah violated his terms of submission to Solomon (1:52-53), the king ordered Benaiah (see 1:8, 26, 38) to execute him.

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.
