1 KI 2:18 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—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ט֑וֹב

good

In this context, Bathsheba is not necessarily using the expression Good to mean that she thinks that what Adonijah is asking is a good thing. Instead, she is using the expression to indicate that she agrees with his request and will do what he asks. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: [Okay] or [I agree]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

אָנֹכִ֕י אֲדַבֵּ֥ר

I (Some words not found in UHB: and=she/it_said daughter_of seven good I speak on,you to/towards the,king )

Bathsheba is stating the pronoun I separately, even though the verb translated as I will speak already includes this meaning. She is doing that to emphasize that she is making a promise to Adonijah. If a speaker of your language would use an explicit pronoun for the same purpose, you may want to use that construction in your translation. If not, your language may have other ways of showing the meaning here. Alternate translation: [I promise that I will speak]
