(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was king Yisrael passing_by on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,wall and,a_woman cried_out to=him/it to=say save, my=master the,king )
The woman is referring to King Jehoram by a respectful title, and she is using the customary expression of her culture to ask him to use his royal power to help her. (She is indicating specifically that she has a case that she wants the king to decide, as he recognizes and acknowledges in 6:28 by asking her, “What is to you?”) Use a comparable title and expression from your language. If you have already translated the book of 2 Samuel, see how you translated the same expressions in 2 Samuel 14:4. Alternate translation: [Help me, Your Majesty]
