uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠הִנְ⁠נִ֣י אֹמֵ֔ר

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_sat_down//remained//lived Yehuda and,Israel to,security (a)_man below/instead_of vine_of,his_own and,under fig_tree_of,his_own from,Dan and=unto Bəʼēr- -sheⱱaˊ all days_of Shəlomoh/(Solomon)'s )

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](../2sa/12/11.md). Alternate translation: [And I am currently intending]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠הִנְ⁠נִ֣י אֹמֵ֔ר

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_sat_down//remained//lived Yehuda and,Israel to,security (a)_man below/instead_of vine_of,his_own and,under fig_tree_of,his_own from,Dan and=unto Bəʼēr- -sheⱱaˊ all days_of Shəlomoh/(Solomon)'s )

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]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְ⁠שֵׁ֖ם יְהוָ֣ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_sat_down//remained//lived Yehuda and,Israel to,security (a)_man below/instead_of vine_of,his_own and,under fig_tree_of,his_own from,Dan and=unto Bəʼēr- -sheⱱaˊ all days_of Shəlomoh/(Solomon)'s )

See how you translated the similar expression in [5:3](../05/03.md). Alternate translation: [for the worship of Yahweh] or [for the reputation of Yahweh]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

לֵ⁠אמֹ֔ר בִּנְ⁠ךָ֗ אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֶתֵּ֤ן תַּחְתֶּ֨י⁠ךָ֙ עַל־כִּסְאֶ֔⁠ךָ הֽוּא־יִבְנֶ֥ה הַ⁠בַּ֖יִת לִ⁠שְׁמִֽ⁠י

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]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֶתֵּ֤ן תַּחְתֶּ֨י⁠ךָ֙ עַל־כִּסְאֶ֔⁠ךָ
