See how you translated the similar expression in 21:3. Alternate translation: [And would you have on hand a spear or a sword] or [And would you have a spear or sword available]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

כִּ֣י

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid to,Ahimelech and,not is_there here at hand_of,your spear or sword that/for/because/then/when also/even sword_of,my and=also weapons_of,my not brought in,hand_of,my that/for/because/then/when it_became business_of the=king urgent )

Here the word For provides not a reason but an explanation. Alternate translation: [I am asking because]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

גַם־חַרְבִּ֤⁠י וְ⁠גַם־כֵּלַ⁠י֙ לֹֽא־לָקַ֣חְתִּי בְ⁠יָדִ֔⁠י כִּֽי־הָיָ֥ה דְבַר־הַ⁠מֶּ֖לֶךְ נָחֽוּץ

also/even (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid to,Ahimelech and,not is_there here at hand_of,your spear or sword that/for/because/then/when also/even sword_of,my and=also weapons_of,my not brought in,hand_of,my that/for/because/then/when it_became business_of the=king urgent )

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: [since the matter of the king was being urged, both my sword and also my weapons I did not take in my hand]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

בְ⁠יָדִ֔⁠י

in,hand_of,my

David is using one part of himself, his hand, to mean all of him in the act of carrying weapons. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [with me]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

הָיָ֥ה דְבַר־הַ⁠מֶּ֖לֶךְ נָחֽוּץ

it_became business_of (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid to,Ahimelech and,not is_there here at hand_of,your spear or sword that/for/because/then/when also/even sword_of,my and=also weapons_of,my not brought in,hand_of,my that/for/because/then/when it_became business_of the=king urgent )

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [the king was urging the matter] or [the matter of the king was urgent]
