uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

וּ⁠בַרְזִלַּי֙ זָקֵ֣ן מְאֹ֔ד בֶּן־שְׁמֹנִ֖ים שָׁנָ֑ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,Barzillai the,Gileadite come_down from,Rogelim and=he/it_passed_through DOM the=king the,Jordan to,send,him_off DOM the,Jordan )

Here, the author is providing background information to help readers understand what happens next in the story. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

בֶּן־שְׁמֹנִ֖ים שָׁנָ֑ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,Barzillai the,Gileadite come_down from,Rogelim and=he/it_passed_through DOM the=king the,Jordan to,send,him_off DOM the,Jordan )

The author 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: [for he was a son of 80 years]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

בֶּן־שְׁמֹנִ֖ים שָׁנָ֑ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,Barzillai the,Gileadite come_down from,Rogelim and=he/it_passed_through DOM the=king the,Jordan to,send,him_off DOM the,Jordan )

See how you translated the similar expression in [2:10](../02/10.md). Alternate translation: [80 years old]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וְ⁠הֽוּא־כִלְכַּ֤ל אֶת־הַ⁠מֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ בְּ⁠שִׁיבָת֣⁠וֹ בְ⁠מַחֲנַ֔יִם כִּֽי־אִ֛ישׁ גָּד֥וֹל ה֖וּא מְאֹֽד

(Some words not found in UHB: and,Barzillai the,Gileadite come_down from,Rogelim and=he/it_passed_through DOM the=king the,Jordan to,send,him_off DOM the,Jordan )

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [And since he was a very great man, he himself had sustained the king in his stay in Mahanaim]

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ⁠הֽוּא־כִלְכַּ֤ל

(Some words not found in UHB: and,Barzillai the,Gileadite come_down from,Rogelim and=he/it_passed_through DOM the=king the,Jordan to,send,him_off DOM the,Jordan )

See how you translated the similar expression “you, you were” in [5:2](../05/02.md). Alternate translation: [And he had personally sustained]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אִ֛ישׁ גָּד֥וֹל ה֖וּא מְאֹֽד

(Some words not found in UHB: and,Barzillai the,Gileadite come_down from,Rogelim and=he/it_passed_through DOM the=king the,Jordan to,send,him_off DOM the,Jordan )

In this context, the term great means having considerable wealth and possessions. If you have already translated the book of 1 Samuel, see how you translated the similar expression in [1 Samuel 25:2](../../1sa/25/02.md). Alternate translation: [he was a very wealthy man]
