uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

שָׁל֥וֹם לַ⁠נַּ֖עַר לְ⁠אַבְשָׁל֑וֹם

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said the=king well [belong]_to,man to,Absalom and=he/it_said ʼAḩīmaˊaʦ saw the,multitude (the),great to,send DOM servant_of the=king Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and=DOM servant_of,your and=not I_know what )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of peace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [Is the young man Absalom well]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֶת־עֶ֨בֶד הַ⁠מֶּ֤לֶךְ

DOM servant_of (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said the=king well [belong]_to,man to,Absalom and=he/it_said ʼAḩīmaˊaʦ saw the,multitude (the),great to,send DOM servant_of the=king Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and=DOM servant_of,your and=not I_know what )

The implication is that this refers to the Cushite messenger who was sent after Ahimaaz. (He may be gesturing to him as he approaches.) You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the Cushite]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

וְ⁠אֶת־עַבְדֶּ֔⁠ךָ

and=DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said the=king well [belong]_to,man to,Absalom and=he/it_said ʼAḩīmaˊaʦ saw the,multitude (the),great to,send DOM servant_of the=king Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and=DOM servant_of,your and=not I_know what )

Ahimaaz is speaking of himself in the third person as your servant to show humility. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in a humble form in the first person. Alternate translation: [and me, your servant]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ⁠לֹ֥א יָדַ֖עְתִּי מָֽה

and=not (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said the=king well [belong]_to,man to,Absalom and=he/it_said ʼAḩīmaˊaʦ saw the,multitude (the),great to,send DOM servant_of the=king Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and=DOM servant_of,your and=not I_know what )

Ahimaaz is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [but I do not know what was happening]
