UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ט֑וֹב

good

Here, the word Good indicates that Bathsheba agrees that Adonijah’s request is appropriate and that she will ask the king about it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Okay” or “I think that is appropriate;”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

אָנֹכִ֕י אֲדַבֵּ֥ר

I speak

Bathsheba uses the word myself to emphasize that she is the one who speak to the king. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this emphasis. Alternate translation: “I am the one who will speak”
