OET interlinear 1 KI 5:5

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠הִנְ⁠נִ֣י אֹמֵ֔ר

and=wow=I intend

Solomon is using a common expression of his culture, behold me, to indicate that he is about to do something. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. If you have already translated the book of 2 Samuel, see how you translated the similar expression in 2 Samuel 12:11. Alternate translation: [And I am currently intending]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠הִנְ⁠נִ֣י אֹמֵ֔ר

and=wow=I intend

In this context, the term saying means “intending.” The idea is that Solomon has been saying to himself that he will do this. Alternate translation: [And behold me, intending]

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [telling him that his son, whom he would put in David’s place on his throne, would build the house for his name]
