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 for doing comparisons of different translations.

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”
