וַיִּרְכַּ֤ב יֵהוּא֙ וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ יִזְרְעֶ֔אלָה כִּ֥י יוֹרָ֖ם שֹׁכֵ֣ב שָׁ֑מָּה
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_rode_in_a_chariot Yēhūʼ/(Jehu) and=he/it_went to,Jezreel that/for/because/then/when Yəhōrām/(Joram) lying there,(to) and,Ahaziah king Yehuda gone_down to=see DOM Yəhōrām/(Joram) )
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [And because Joram was lying down there, Jehu rode and went to Jezreel]

וַיִּרְכַּ֤ב יֵהוּא֙ וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_rode_in_a_chariot Yēhūʼ/(Jehu) and=he/it_went to,Jezreel that/for/because/then/when Yəhōrām/(Joram) lying there,(to) and,Ahaziah king Yehuda gone_down to=see DOM Yəhōrām/(Joram) )
The phrase rode and went expresses a single idea. The word rode, which indicates that Jehu rode in his chariot, tells in what way he went to Jezreel. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning in a different way. Alternate translation: [And Jehu went in his chariot]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
יוֹרָ֖ם שֹׁכֵ֣ב שָׁ֑מָּה
Yəhōrām/(Joram) (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_rode_in_a_chariot Yēhūʼ/(Jehu) and=he/it_went to,Jezreel that/for/because/then/when Yəhōrām/(Joram) lying there,(to) and,Ahaziah king Yehuda gone_down to=see DOM Yəhōrām/(Joram) )
Here, lying down represents “recuperating.” It conveys the further idea that Joram was not in fully fit condition to fight Jehu. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [Joram was laid up there] or [Joram was recuperating there]
Note 4 topic: writing-background
וַֽאֲחַזְיָה֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ יְהוּדָ֔ה יָרַ֖ד לִרְא֥וֹת אֶת־יוֹרָֽם
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_rode_in_a_chariot Yēhūʼ/(Jehu) and=he/it_went to,Jezreel that/for/because/then/when Yəhōrām/(Joram) lying there,(to) and,Ahaziah king Yehuda gone_down to=see DOM Yəhōrām/(Joram) )
The author is providing background information to help readers understand what happens next in the story. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.

וַֽאֲחַזְיָה֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ יְהוּדָ֔ה יָרַ֖ד
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_rode_in_a_chariot Yēhūʼ/(Jehu) and=he/it_went to,Jezreel that/for/because/then/when Yəhōrām/(Joram) lying there,(to) and,Ahaziah king Yehuda gone_down to=see DOM Yəhōrām/(Joram) )
See how you translated the similar expression “go up” in [1:3](../01/03.md). Alternate translation: [Now Ahaziah, the king of Judah, had gone]
OET (OET-LV) And_ Yēhūʼ/(Jehu) _he_rode_in_a_chariot and_he/it_went to_Yizrəˊʼēl/(Jezreel) if/because Yəhōrām was_lying there_(to) and_ʼAḩazyāh the_king_of Yəhūdāh/(Judah) he_had_come_down to_see DOM Yəhōrām.
OET (OET-RV) Then Yehu rode to Yizre’el himself because Yoram was recuperating there in bed, and King Ahazyah had gone up north from Yehudah to visit him.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
