OET interlinear 1 KI 3:3

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וַ⁠יֶּאֱהַ֤ב שְׁלֹמֹה֙ אֶת־יְהוָ֔ה לָ⁠לֶ֕כֶת בְּ⁠חֻקּ֖וֹת דָּוִ֣ד אָבִ֑י⁠ו

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_loved Shəlomoh/(Solomon) DOM YHWH to=go in,the_statutes_of Dāvid his/its=father only at,places he/it sacrificed and,making_smoke )

The second phrase describes the result of what the first phrase describes. It may be helpful to use a connector in your language that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [And Solomon loved Yahweh, and as a result, he walked in the statutes of David his father] or [And because Solomon loved Yahweh, he walked in the statutes of David his father]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לָ⁠לֶ֕כֶת בְּ⁠חֻקּ֖וֹת דָּוִ֣ד אָבִ֑י⁠ו

to=go (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_loved Shəlomoh/(Solomon) DOM YHWH to=go in,the_statutes_of Dāvid his/its=father only at,places he/it sacrificed and,making_smoke )

See how you translated the similar expression in 2:3. Alternate translation: [to live as David his father had lived]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בְּ⁠חֻקּ֖וֹת דָּוִ֣ד אָבִ֑י⁠ו

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_loved Shəlomoh/(Solomon) DOM YHWH to=go in,the_statutes_of Dāvid his/its=father only at,places he/it sacrificed and,making_smoke )

In this context, the word statutes could mean: (1) the customs that David followed, specifically in obedience to Yahweh. Alternate translation: [in the customs of David his father] or [in the obedient manner of David his father] or (2) instructions that David gave to Solomon to obey Yahweh. Alternate translation: [according to the instructions that David his father had given him]
