מָצָ֨אתִי חֵ֤ן בְּ⁠עֵינֶ֨י⁠ךָ֙

found graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty in/on/at/with,eyes_of,your

David is using the term eyes by association to mean Achish’s judgment or evaluation. See how you translated the similar phrase in [1:18](../01/18.md). Alternate translation: [you regard me favorably]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

יִתְּנוּ־לִ֣⁠י

given to=me

The author is not using the pronoun they to refer to specific people. Use an expression for this that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: [may you give to me] or [may I be given]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

לִ֣⁠י & וְ⁠אֵ֣שְׁבָה

to=me & and,live

David is using himself as a representative of his entire group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to us … and let us dwell]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠אַחַ֛ת עָרֵ֥י הַ⁠שָּׂדֶ֖ה

in/on/at/with,one_of towns_of the=field

David is using the term field by association to mean a rural area. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [in a city in a more rural area]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

וְ⁠לָ֨⁠מָּה יֵשֵׁ֧ב עַבְדְּ⁠ךָ֛ בְּ⁠עִ֥יר הַ⁠מַּמְלָכָ֖ה עִמָּֽ⁠ךְ

and=for=what? live servant_of,your in/on/at/with,city_of the,royal with,you

David is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [There is no need for your servant to dwell in the city of the kingship with you.]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

עַבְדְּ⁠ךָ֛

servant_of,your

David is speaking about himself humbly in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: [I, your servant]
