uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יִּמְצָ֣א

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went from=there and,he_found DOM Jehonadab son_of Rēkāⱱ to,meet,him and,he,blessed_him and=he/it_said to=him/it [is],there? DOM heart_of,your true just=as heart_of,my with heart_of,your and=he/it_said Jehonadab it_is and,there_[is] give, DOM hand_of,your and=he/it_gave his/its=hand and,he,took_him_up to=him/it to/towards the,chariot )

See how you translated the similar expression in [9:21](../09/21.md). Alternate translation: [and he encountered]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

לִ⁠קְרָאת֜⁠וֹ

to,meet,him

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: [coming to meet him]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הֲ⁠יֵ֧שׁ אֶת־לְבָבְ⁠ךָ֣ יָשָׁ֗ר כַּ⁠אֲשֶׁ֤ר לְבָבִ⁠י֙ עִם־לְבָבֶ֔⁠ךָ

[is],there? DOM heart_of,your (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went from=there and,he_found DOM Jehonadab son_of Rēkāⱱ to,meet,him and,he,blessed_him and=he/it_said to=him/it [is],there? DOM heart_of,your true just=as heart_of,my with heart_of,your and=he/it_said Jehonadab it_is and,there_[is] give, DOM hand_of,your and=he/it_gave his/its=hand and,he,took_him_up to=him/it to/towards the,chariot )

Here the heart represents a person’s feelings and commitments, in this case, loyalty. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Are you as prepared to be loyal to me as I am prepared to be loyal to you]

Note 4 topic: translate-symaction

וָ⁠יֵ֖שׁ תְּנָ֣⁠ה אֶת־יָדֶ֑⁠ךָ וַ⁠יִּתֵּ֣ן יָד֔⁠וֹ

and,there_[is] (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went from=there and,he_found DOM Jehonadab son_of Rēkāⱱ to,meet,him and,he,blessed_him and=he/it_said to=him/it [is],there? DOM heart_of,your true just=as heart_of,my with heart_of,your and=he/it_said Jehonadab it_is and,there_[is] give, DOM hand_of,your and=he/it_gave his/its=hand and,he,took_him_up to=him/it to/towards the,chariot )

Giving his hand to Jehu (that is, shaking hands with him) was a symbolic action by which Jehonadab showed his agreement and alliance with Jehu. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text of your translation or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [“If it is, shake hands with me to show we are allies.” And he shook hands with him]

Note 5 topic: writing-quotations

וָ⁠יֵ֖שׁ תְּנָ֣⁠ה אֶת־יָדֶ֑⁠ךָ

and,there_[is] (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went from=there and,he_found DOM Jehonadab son_of Rēkāⱱ to,meet,him and,he,blessed_him and=he/it_said to=him/it [is],there? DOM heart_of,your true just=as heart_of,my with heart_of,your and=he/it_said Jehonadab it_is and,there_[is] give, DOM hand_of,your and=he/it_gave his/its=hand and,he,took_him_up to=him/it to/towards the,chariot )

This is a direct quotation from Jehu. If it would be helpful to your readers, introduce it as a direct quotation in a way that would be natural in your language. [And Jehu responded, “If it is, give your hand]
