uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֶת־יֶ֣תֶר הָ⁠עָ֔ם

DOM rest_of of,the_people

See how you translated the similar expression in [1:4](../01/04.md). Alternate translation: [the rest of the army]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הָ⁠עִ֖יר

the=city

The implication is that this was the main fortified part of the city. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the citadel] or [the fortress]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

פֶּן־אֶלְכֹּ֤ד אֲנִי֙ אֶת־הָ⁠עִ֔יר וְ⁠נִקְרָ֥א שְׁמִ֖⁠י עָלֶֽי⁠הָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=now gather_~_together DOM rest_of of,the_people and,encamp on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=city and,capture,it lest capture I DOM the=city and,it_will_be_called name_of,my on,it )

Joab is using the word translated as lest to introduce an outcome that he does not want to happen. Because he does not want this outcome to happen, he first encourages David to do something so that this will not happen. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that avoiding this outcome is the purpose of the encouragement. Alternate translation: [otherwise, I myself will capture the city and my name will be called to it]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠נִקְרָ֥א שְׁמִ֖⁠י עָלֶֽי⁠הָ

and,it_will_be_called (Some words not found in UHB: and=now gather_~_together DOM rest_of of,the_people and,encamp on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=city and,capture,it lest capture I DOM the=city and,it_will_be_called name_of,my on,it )

Joab is using my name be called to it as a common expression of his culture to mean “people give me credit for capturing it.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and it be named after me]
