1:5 Gr. made.
BrLXX Καὶ Ἀδωνίας υἱὸς Ἀγγὶθ ἐπῄρετο, λέγων, ἐγὼ βασιλεύσω· καὶ ἐποίησεν ἑαυτῷ ἅρματα καὶ ἱππεῖς, καὶ πεντήκοντα ἄνδρας παρατρέχειν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ.
(Kai Adōnias huios Angith epaʸreto, legōn, egō basileusō; kai epoiaʸsen heautōi harmata kai hippeis, kai pentaʸkonta andras paratreⱪein emprosthen autou. )
1:5-6 Adonijah was David’s fourth son. Because his older brothers, Amnon, Daniel, and Absalom, were all dead, Adonijah assumed he would succeed his father. Yet, in keeping with ancient Near Eastern custom, Solomon—the son of David’s favored wife, Bathsheba—was to succeed him as king. David had already communicated this fact to Solomon (1:13, 17; 1 Chr 22:6-10). Adonijah’s self-seeking nature, likely encouraged by his father’s lax discipline, surfaced in his declaration, “I will make myself king.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
מִתְנַשֵּׂ֥א
exalted
He the author speaks of how Adonijah began to take power and demand honor as if he were literally lifting himself up in the air. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “exalted himself” or “began to take honor and power”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
לֵאמֹ֖ר אֲנִ֣י אֶמְלֹ֑ךְ
to=say I be_king
It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: “saying that he himself would reign”
Note 4 topic: grammar-collectivenouns
רֶ֚כֶב
chariots
Here, the word translated chariot could: (1) refer to one chariot that Adonijah rode in. Alternate translation: “one chariot” (2) refer to multiple chariots using a singular form. Alternate translation: “chariots”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַחֲמִשִּׁ֥ים אִ֖ישׁ רָצִ֥ים לְפָנָֽיו
and,fifty (a)_man run to/for,ahead_of,him
Here the author implies that these 50 men were a special guard who escorted Adonijah when he went anywhere. They ran along with the chariot that he rode in. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “and 50 men who ran with him as his guard” or “and a special group of 50 men who ran with him to honor and protect him”
