Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
מָ֥ה אֶעֱשֶׂ֖ה לָכֶ֑ם וּבַמָּ֣ה אֲכַפֵּ֔ר
what (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Dāvid to/towards the,Gibeonites what do to/for=you(pl) and,,how? make_atonement and,bless DOM inheritance_of YHWH )
These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [How can I thoroughly make amends to you] or [What can I possibly do to make things right with you]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
וּבָרְכ֖וּ
and,bless
This is an imperative, but David is using it to confirm the response he could expect from the Gibeonites if he performed the actions he has just described. Use a form in your language that indicates this. Alternate translation: [that you would then bless]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אֶת־נַחֲלַ֥ת יְהוָֽה
DOM inheritance_of YHWH
See how you translated the similar expression in 14:16. Alternate translation: [Yahweh’s people, Israel]
