OET interlinear 1 KI 5:14

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

שְׁנַ֥יִם חֳדָשִׁ֖ים בְּ⁠בֵית֑⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he,sent_them to,Lebanon ten_of thousand in,month shifts month were in,Lebanon two months in,home_of,his and,Adoniram on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the_forced,labor )

In this verse, the word house is singular in form, but it refers to all the workers’ homes as a group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the plural form of “house.” Alternate translation: [two months in their houses]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

שְׁנַ֥יִם חֳדָשִׁ֖ים בְּ⁠בֵית֑⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he,sent_them to,Lebanon ten_of thousand in,month shifts month were in,Lebanon two months in,home_of,his and,Adoniram on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the_forced,labor )

The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and then they were two months in their houses]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠אֲדֹנִירָ֖ם עַל־הַ⁠מַּֽס

and,Adoniram on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (Some words not found in UHB: and,he,sent_them to,Lebanon ten_of thousand in,month shifts month were in,Lebanon two months in,home_of,his and,Adoniram on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the_forced,labor )

See how you translated the similar expression in 4:4. Alternate translation: [And Adoniram was in charge of the forced labor]
