אֲהָ֕הּ
alas
The king of Israel is using a phrase that expresses a strong feeling, dismay or distress. There may be an equivalent word or phrase in your language that you can use in your translation to convey this feeling. If not, you could say what the king of Israel was feeling, or you could say what made him distressed. Alternate translation: [What a disaster] or [This makes me distressed]
