וְאֶת־הַנְּעָרִ֖ים הִכּ֣וּ לְפִי־חָ֑רֶב

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations
וָֽאִמָּ֨לְטָ֧ה רַק־אֲנִ֛י לְבַדִּ֖י לְהַגִּ֥יד לָֽךְ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,attacked Sheba and,took,them and=DOM the,servants slew with,edge sword and,escaped, only I by,myself, to=announce to/for=you(fs) )
You may find it more appropriate to represent this in your translation as an exclamation rather than as a statement, here and in verses 16, 17, and 19.
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
וָֽאִמָּ֨לְטָ֧ה רַק־אֲנִ֛י לְבַדִּ֖י
(Some words not found in UHB: and,attacked Sheba and,took,them and=DOM the,servants slew with,edge sword and,escaped, only I by,myself, to=announce to/for=you(fs) )
It might seem that this expression contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it, here and in verses 16, 17, and 19. Alternate translation, as in UST: “I am the only one who has escaped”
