OET interlinear 2 SAM 19:37

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-politeness

וְ⁠הִנֵּ֣ה ׀ עַבְדְּ⁠ךָ֣ כִמְהָ֗ם

(Some words not found in UHB: like,a_little cross_over servant_of,your DOM the,Jordan DOM the=king and=for=what? will,he_reward_me the=king the,reward (the),this )

While Barzillai may want David to look at Chimham (who has accompanied him, and who is likely his son, as [1 Kings 2:7](../../1ki/02/07.md) suggests), he seems to be saying behold as part of the courteous expression that people in this culture would use to tell a superior that someone was ready and willing to obey his orders. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. See how you translated the similar expression in [1:7](../01/07.md). Alternate translation: [But now here is your servant Chimham, at your disposal]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

וַ⁠עֲשֵׂה־ל֕⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: like,a_little cross_over servant_of,your DOM the,Jordan DOM the=king and=for=what? will,he_reward_me the=king the,reward (the),this )

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [and please do for him]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אֵ֥ת אֲשֶׁר־ט֖וֹב בְּ⁠עֵינֶֽי⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: like,a_little cross_over servant_of,your DOM the,Jordan DOM the=king and=for=what? will,he_reward_me the=king the,reward (the),this )

See how you translated the similar expression in [3:19](../03/19.md). Alternate translation: [as you see fit] or [what you think is best]
