UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וַ⁠יֻּגַּ֞ד לַ⁠מֶּ֣לֶךְ

and,told to/for=the_king

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: “And a person told the king”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

שְׁלֹמֹ֗ה כִּ֣י נָ֤ס יוֹאָב֙ אֶל־אֹ֣הֶל יְהוָ֔ה וְ⁠הִנֵּ֖ה אֵ֣צֶל הַ⁠מִּזְבֵּ֑חַ

Shəlomoh that/for/because/then/when fled Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) to/towards tent/house YHWH and=see/lo/see! beside the,altar

It may be more natural in your language to have a direct quotation here. Alternate translation: “Solomon, ‘Joab has fled to teh tent of Yahweh, and behold, he is beside the altar.’”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠הִנֵּ֖ה אֵ֣צֶל הַ⁠מִּזְבֵּ֑חַ וַ⁠יִּשְׁלַ֨ח שְׁלֹמֹ֜ה

and=see/lo/see! beside the,altar and,sent Shəlomoh

Some translations include some additional material about what happened between when Solomon learned where Joab had fled and when he commanded Benaiah to attack Joab. If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, and if it includes this additional material, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

וְ⁠הִנֵּ֖ה

and=see/lo/see!

Here, the word behold draws the attention of the king and asks him to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express behold with a word or phrase that asks someone to listen, or you could use a different form that draws a person’s attention. Alternate translation: “and picture this” or “and listen”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

אֶת־בְּנָיָ֧הוּ בֶן־יְהוֹיָדָ֛ע לֵ⁠אמֹ֖ר לֵ֥ךְ פְּגַע־בּֽ⁠וֹ

DOM Bənā\sup_yāh son_of Yəhōyādāˊ/(Jehoiada) to=say go strike_~_down in/on/over=him/it

It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: “Benaiah the son of Jehoiada to go and attack him”

Note 6 topic: writing-quotations

לֵ⁠אמֹ֖ר

to=say

If you preserve the direct quotation, consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “and he told him”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / go

לֵ֥ךְ

In a context such as this, your language might say “Come” instead of Go. Alternate translation: “Come”
