and,went בַת שֶׁבֶע to/towards the=king the,room,in and,the,king old very and,Abishag the,Shunammite attending DOM the,king

If it would be more natural in your language, you could express the background information before narrating what Bathsheba did. Alternate translation: “Now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was attending the king in his chamber. Then Bathsheba came to the king there”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

וַ⁠תָּבֹ֨א בַת־שֶׁ֤בֶע

and,went בַת שֶׁבֶע

In a context such as this, your language might say “went” instead of came. Alternate translation: “And Bathsheba went”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
