uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

מִנְחָ֤ה & וְ⁠כָל־ט֣וּב דַּמֶּ֔שֶׂק

donation/offering & and=all goods_of (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went Ḩₐzā^ʼēl to,meet,him and=he/it_took donation/offering in,hand_of,his and=all goods_of Dammeseq loads_of forty camel and,he_came and,he_stood before,,him and=he/it_said son_of,your son_of -hₐdad king ʼArām he,has_sent_me to,you to=say will,I_live? from,sickness this )

This phrase expresses a single idea. The expression every good thing tells what this gift consisted of. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning in a different way. Alternate translation: [a gift consisting of every good thing of Damascus]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

וְ⁠כָל־ט֣וּב דַּמֶּ֔שֶׂק

and=all goods_of (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went Ḩₐzā^ʼēl to,meet,him and=he/it_took donation/offering in,hand_of,his and=all goods_of Dammeseq loads_of forty camel and,he_came and,he_stood before,,him and=he/it_said son_of,your son_of -hₐdad king ʼArām he,has_sent_me to,you to=say will,I_live? from,sickness this )

The author is saying every as an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [and a wide range of good things from Damascus]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ט֣וּב דַּמֶּ֔שֶׂק

goods_of (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went Ḩₐzā^ʼēl to,meet,him and=he/it_took donation/offering in,hand_of,his and=all goods_of Dammeseq loads_of forty camel and,he_came and,he_stood before,,him and=he/it_said son_of,your son_of -hₐdad king ʼArām he,has_sent_me to,you to=say will,I_live? from,sickness this )

The author is using the adjective good as a noun to mean a certain kind of thing. The ULT shows that by supplying the word thing. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent word or phrase. Alternate translation: [fine product of Damascus] or [luxury of Damascus]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְ⁠פָנָ֔י⁠ו

before,,him

See how you translated the similar expression in [3:14](../03/14.md). Alternate translation: [in his presence]

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_went Ḩₐzā^ʼēl to,meet,him and=he/it_took donation/offering in,hand_of,his and=all goods_of Dammeseq loads_of forty camel and,he_came and,he_stood before,,him and=he/it_said son_of,your son_of -hₐdad king ʼArām he,has_sent_me to,you to=say will,I_live? from,sickness this )

By calling himself Your son, the king is addressing Elisha respectfully. (This is equivalent to the way the king of Israel addressed him as “my father” in [6:21](../06/21.md).) Use a comparable expression for addressing someone respectfully in your language.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

לֵ⁠אמֹ֔ר הַ⁠אֶחְיֶ֖ה מֵ⁠חֳלִ֥י זֶֽה

to=say will,I_live? from,sickness this

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [to ask whether he will revive from this sickness]
