1 KI 1:18 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

וְ⁠עַתָּ֕ה & וְ⁠עַתָּ֛ה

and=now & and=now

Alternate translation: “And at this time … and at this time”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

הִנֵּ֥ה

see/lo/see!

Here, the word behold draws David’s attention and asks him to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express behold with a word or phrase that asks someone to listen, or you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “I want to inform you of this:” or “please listen to me”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מָלָ֑ךְ

become_king

Here Bathsheba implies that Adonijah is trying to reign. Bathsheba believes that David is still the real king. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “is attempting to reign” or “wants to make himself king”

Note 3 topic: translate-textvariants

וְ⁠עַתָּ֛ה

and=now

Many ancient manuscripts read and now. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “and you.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.
