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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go
בָּ֜אוּ
they_went
In a context such as this, your language might say “went” instead of came. Alternate translation: “went”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
לְ֠בָרֵךְ אֶת־אֲדֹנֵ֜ינוּ הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ דָּוִד֮
to,congratulate DOM lord_of,our the=king Dāvid
Here, people who have less power and status bless someone with more power and status. The author implies that the servants of David bless him by praising him for his decision and wishing that things will go well. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that makes that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “to wish our lord the king David well” or “to congratulate our master the king David”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
אֲדֹנֵ֜ינוּ
lord_of,our
By our, Jonathan means himself, Adonijah, and the rest of the Israelites, so use the inclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Here, name represents the honor or reputation of the person whose name it is. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “May God make the reputation of Solomon better than your reputation” or “May God honor Solomon even more than he honored you”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וִֽיגַדֵּ֥ל אֶת־כִּסְא֖וֹ מִכִּסְאֶ֑ךָ

Here, throne represents the rule or reign of the person who sits on the throne.

and,bowed_in_worship the=king on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,bed
In David’s culture, when people prostrated themselves to someone else, they were honoring and respecting that person. In this case, the author implies that David was showing honor and respect to God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could explain what this action means. Alternate translation: “And the king prostrated himself on the bed to God in respect” or “And the king prostrated himself on the bed to honor God”
