OET interlinear 1 KI 5:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-participants

וַ֠⁠יִּשְׁלַח חִירָ֨ם מֶֽלֶךְ־צ֤וֹר אֶת־עֲבָדָי⁠ו֙ אֶל־שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה כִּ֣י שָׁמַ֔ע כִּ֥י אֹת֛⁠וֹ מָשְׁח֥וּ לְ⁠מֶ֖לֶךְ תַּ֣חַת אָבִ֑י⁠הוּ כִּ֣י אֹהֵ֗ב הָיָ֥ה חִירָ֛ם לְ⁠דָוִ֖ד כָּל־הַ⁠יָּמִֽים

(Some words not found in UHB: and,Solomon it_became ruled in=all the,kingdoms from/more_than the=river earth/land Pelishtim and=unto border Miʦrayim/(Egypt) brought donation/offering and,[they_were]_serving DOM Shəlomoh/(Solomon) all/each/any/every days_of his/its=life )

The author is reintroducing Hiram as a participant in the story. He first appeared in [2 Samuel 5:11](../2sa/05/11.md). If your language has its own way of reintroducing participants, you could use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: [And Hiram, king of Tyre, who had been a friend to David all of the days, sent his servants to Solomon when he heard that they had anointed him as king in place of his father]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / events

וַ֠⁠יִּשְׁלַח חִירָ֨ם מֶֽלֶךְ־צ֤וֹר אֶת־עֲבָדָי⁠ו֙ אֶל־שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה כִּ֣י שָׁמַ֔ע כִּ֥י אֹת֛⁠וֹ מָשְׁח֥וּ לְ⁠מֶ֖לֶךְ תַּ֣חַת אָבִ֑י⁠הוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,Solomon it_became ruled in=all the,kingdoms from/more_than the=river earth/land Pelishtim and=unto border Miʦrayim/(Egypt) brought donation/offering and,[they_were]_serving DOM Shəlomoh/(Solomon) all/each/any/every days_of his/its=life )

The author is describing one event, Hiram sending his servants to Solomon, before describing another event that preceded it, the Israelites anointing Solomon as king. If it would be helpful in your language, you may wish to relate these events in the order in which they happened, as in the UST. Alternate translation: [And when Hiram, king of Tyre, heard that they had anointed Solomon as king in place of his father, he sent his servants to him]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

אֹת֛⁠וֹ מָשְׁח֥וּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,Solomon it_became ruled in=all the,kingdoms from/more_than the=river earth/land Pelishtim and=unto border Miʦrayim/(Egypt) brought donation/offering and,[they_were]_serving DOM Shəlomoh/(Solomon) all/each/any/every days_of his/its=life )

Here the author is using the pronoun they in a general sense, not to refer to specific people. Use an expression for this that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: [he had been anointed]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

כָּל־הַ⁠יָּמִֽים

(Some words not found in UHB: and,Solomon it_became ruled in=all the,kingdoms from/more_than the=river earth/land Pelishtim and=unto border Miʦrayim/(Egypt) brought donation/offering and,[they_were]_serving DOM Shəlomoh/(Solomon) all/each/any/every days_of his/its=life )

The author is using the term days to mean time, since time is made up of days. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [all the time] or [continually]
