(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was from,after so and=he/it_made to=him/it ʼAⱱīshālōm chariot and,horses and,fifty (a)_man run before,,him )
Having 50 men run ahead of his chariot to clear the way and announce his coming was a symbolic action by which Absalom asserted his importance. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: [and he had 50 men run ahead of his chariot to show how important he was]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
לְפָנָֽיו
before,,him
Here, to his face represents “ahead of him.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [ahead of him]
