uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-symaction

וַ⁠יִּשְׁלַ֥ח דָּוִ֖ד עֲשָׂרָ֣ה נְעָרִ֑ים

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_sent Dāvid ten young_men and=he/it_said Dāvid to,men go_up to,Carmel and,you(pl)_will_go to/towards Nāⱱāl and,you(pl)_will_ask to=him/it in,name_of,my to,welfare )

Sending a round and significant number of representatives was a symbolic action by which David expressed respect for Nabal. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: [And David showed respect for Nabal by sending ten young men to speak with him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וּ⁠שְׁאֶלְתֶּם־ל֥⁠וֹ בִ⁠שְׁמִ֖⁠י לְ⁠שָׁלֽוֹם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_sent Dāvid ten young_men and=he/it_said Dāvid to,men go_up to,Carmel and,you(pl)_will_go to/towards Nāⱱāl and,you(pl)_will_ask to=him/it in,name_of,my to,welfare )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of peace, you could express this idea in another way. See how you translated the similar expression in 10:4. Alternate translation: [and you shall ask him in my name whether all is well with him]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

וּ⁠שְׁאֶלְתֶּם־ל֥⁠וֹ בִ⁠שְׁמִ֖⁠י לְ⁠שָׁלֽוֹם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_sent Dāvid ten young_men and=he/it_said Dāvid to,men go_up to,Carmel and,you(pl)_will_go to/towards Nāⱱāl and,you(pl)_will_ask to=him/it in,name_of,my to,welfare )

It may be more natural in your language to express this as a direct quotation. Alternate translation: [and you shall tell him that David asks, ‘Is all well with you?’]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בִ⁠שְׁמִ֖⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_sent Dāvid ten young_men and=he/it_said Dāvid to,men go_up to,Carmel and,you(pl)_will_go to/towards Nāⱱāl and,you(pl)_will_ask to=him/it in,name_of,my to,welfare )

David is using the term name to represent his own interests. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [on my behalf]
