19:21 Note: KJB: 2Sam.19.20
OET (OET-RV) But Abishai (Tseruyah’s son) answered instead, “Rather than that, shouldn’t Shimei be killed because he cursed Yahweh’s anointed one?”
Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
וַיַּ֨עַן אֲבִישַׁ֤י בֶּן־צְרוּיָה֙ וַיֹּ֔אמֶר
(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when knowing servant_of,your that/for/because/then/when I sinned and=see/lo/see! come the=day first to/from=all/each/any/every house_of Yōşēf/(Joseph) to,come_down to,meet my=master the,king )
The expression and said introduces a direct quotation. In your translation, use a natural way of introducing direct quotations in your language. It may not be necessary to represent this expression explicitly. (Shimei had addressed David rather than Abishai, so it was not Shimei personally whom Abishai answered. Rather, he was responding to the situation.) Alternate translation: [And Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, responded]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
הֲתַ֣חַת זֹ֔את לֹ֥א יוּמַ֖ת שִׁמְעִ֑י
(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when knowing servant_of,your that/for/because/then/when I sinned and=see/lo/see! come the=day first to/from=all/each/any/every house_of Yōşēf/(Joseph) to,come_down to,meet my=master the,king )
Abishai is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [In place of this, Shimei should be killed!]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
הֲתַ֣חַת זֹ֔את לֹ֥א יוּמַ֖ת שִׁמְעִ֑י
(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when knowing servant_of,your that/for/because/then/when I sinned and=see/lo/see! come the=day first to/from=all/each/any/every house_of Yōşēf/(Joseph) to,come_down to,meet my=master the,king )
The expression shall not Shimei be killed 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: [In place of this, should you not kill Shimei?] or [In place of this, you should kill Shimei!]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
אֶת־מְשִׁ֥יחַ יְהוָֽה
(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when knowing servant_of,your that/for/because/then/when I sinned and=see/lo/see! come the=day first to/from=all/each/any/every house_of Yōşēf/(Joseph) to,come_down to,meet my=master the,king )
Even though Abishai is addressing David directly, he is speaking of him in the third person as the anointed of Yahweh to show respect. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in a respectful form in the second person. Alternate translation: [you, the anointed of Yahweh]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
אֶת־מְשִׁ֥יחַ יְהוָֽה
(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when knowing servant_of,your that/for/because/then/when I sinned and=see/lo/see! come the=day first to/from=all/each/any/every house_of Yōşēf/(Joseph) to,come_down to,meet my=master the,king )
See how you translated the similar expression in [1:14](../01/14.md). Alternate translation: [the anointed one of Yahweh] or [the one whom Yahweh anointed as king]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
