See how you translated the similar expression in 7:2. Alternate translation: [Listen]
Note 2 topic: translate-plural
דְבָרֶ֖ךָ טוֹבִ֣ים וּנְכֹחִ֑ים
matter_of,your good and,straightforward
Here Absalom is using plural forms of good and right where he could have used singular forms. This suggests that he is using plural forms to emphasize the validity of the person’s case. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the singular and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [your case is very good and very right]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
דְבָרֶ֖ךָ טוֹבִ֣ים וּנְכֹחִ֑ים
matter_of,your good and,straightforward
The terms good and right mean similar things. Absalom is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [your claims are completely justified]
