OET interlinear 2 SAM 13:30

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וְ⁠הַ⁠שְּׁמֻעָ֣ה בָ֔אָה אֶל־דָּוִ֖ד לֵ⁠אמֹ֑ר

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was they(emph) [were]_on,way and,the,report came to/towards Dāvid to=say struck_down ʼAⱱīshālōm DOM all/each/any/every sons_of the=king and=not left from=them one(ms) )

The author is speaking of the report as if it were a living thing that could have come to David. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and someone brought a report to David, saying]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

הִכָּ֤ה אַבְשָׁלוֹם֙ אֶת־כָּל־בְּנֵ֣י הַ⁠מֶּ֔לֶךְ וְ⁠לֹֽא־נוֹתַ֥ר מֵ⁠הֶ֖ם אֶחָֽד

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was they(emph) [were]_on,way and,the,report came to/towards Dāvid to=say struck_down ʼAⱱīshālōm DOM all/each/any/every sons_of the=king and=not left from=them one(ms) )

These two phrases Absalom has struck all of the sons of the king and not one of them is left mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [Absalom has killed every single one of the king’s sons]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הִכָּ֤ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was they(emph) [were]_on,way and,the,report came to/towards Dāvid to=say struck_down ʼAⱱīshālōm DOM all/each/any/every sons_of the=king and=not left from=them one(ms) )

See how you translated the similar expression in 12:9. Alternate translation: [has murdered]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

נוֹתַ֥ר

left

The expression is left is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [remains alive]
