OET interlinear 2 KI 14:7

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

הוּא־הִכָּ֨ה

he/it (Some words not found in UHB: he/it killed DOM ʼEdōmites in_the_Valley_of_Salt,in_[the]_Valley_of Salt ten_of thousand and,he_seized DOM (the),Sela in,battle and=he/it_called DOM his/its=name Yāqətə^ʼēl/(Joktheel) until the=day (the),this )

The author is stating the pronoun he separately, even though the verb translated as he struck already includes this meaning. He is doing that to put focus on Amaziah as the king who led the Judean army to do this. If a speaker of your language would use an explicit pronoun for the same purpose, you may want to use that construction in your translation. If not, your language may have other ways of showing the meaning here. Alternate translation: [He was the king who struck]

See how you translated the similar expression in 3:24. Alternate translation: [he defeated]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אֶת־אֱד֤וֹם

DOM ʼEdōmites

See how you translated the similar expression in 1:1. Alternate translation: [the Edomites]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

עֲשֶׂ֣רֶת אֲלָפִ֔ים

(Some words not found in UHB: he/it killed DOM ʼEdōmites in_the_Valley_of_Salt,in_[the]_Valley_of Salt ten_of thousand and,he_seized DOM (the),Sela in,battle and=he/it_called DOM his/its=name Yāqətə^ʼēl/(Joktheel) until the=day (the),this )

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: [where the Israelite killed 10,000 of their soldiers]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

וַ⁠יִּקְרָ֤א אֶת־שְׁמָ⁠הּ֙

(Some words not found in UHB: he/it killed DOM ʼEdōmites in_the_Valley_of_Salt,in_[the]_Valley_of Salt ten_of thousand and,he_seized DOM (the),Sela in,battle and=he/it_called DOM his/its=name Yāqətə^ʼēl/(Joktheel) until the=day (the),this )

It might seem that the expression called its name contains extra information that would not be natural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: [And he called it] or [And he named it]
