uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

חֹ֨דֶשׁ֙

new_moon

David is using the term new moon to represent a feast that Saul would host on the occasion of the new moon. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [the new moon festival]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

וְ⁠אָנֹכִ֛י יָשֹׁב־אֵשֵׁ֥ב

and,I (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid to/towards Yōnātān/(Yəhōnātān/(Jonathan)) see/lo/see! new_moon tomorrow and,I to_sit I_should_sit with the=king to,eat and,you,will_let_me_go and,I_will_hide_myself in,field until the,evening (the),third )

David is repeating forms of the verb “sit” in order to intensify his expression of the idea that it conveys. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [and I should certainly sit]
