TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:13-15 Adonijah contradicted his supposed peaceful intentions when he declared, the kingdom was rightfully mine.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

אַ֤תְּ יָדַ֨עַתְּ֙

you know

Adonijah uses the word yourself to emphasize that Bathsheba knows what he is about to say. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this significance. Alternate translation: “As for you, you know”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠עָלַ֞⁠י שָׂ֧מוּ כָֽל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל פְּנֵי⁠הֶ֖ם לִ⁠מְלֹ֑ךְ

and,toward,me set all Yisrael face,their to,king

Here Adonijah speaks as if all Israel had turned their faces toward him, expecting and even wanting him to reign. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and all Israel was expecting me to reign” or “and all Israel assumed that I would reign”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

כָֽל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל

all Yisrael

Adonijah says all here as an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “the majority of Israel”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וַ⁠תִּסֹּ֤ב הַ⁠מְּלוּכָה֙ וַ⁠תְּהִ֣י לְ⁠אָחִ֔⁠י

and,turned_about the=royalty and=it_became to,brother's,my

Here, Adonijah speaks of the kingship as if it were a person who could have turned around and been for his brother. He means that the situation changed, and Solomon was the one who received the kingdom. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “But the situation changed, and the kingdom was for my brother” or “But, despite what I expected, the kingdom was for my brother”

מֵ⁠יְהוָ֖ה הָ֥יְתָה לּֽ⁠וֹ

from,LORD she/it_was for=him/it

Alternate translation: “Yahweh gave it to him” or “Yahweh designated it for him”
