UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) What have I to do with you?

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said ʼElīshāˊ to/towards king Yisrael what? to/for=me and,to,you go to/towards prophets_of I_will_show=you(ms) and=near/to prophets_of mother_of,your and=he/it_said to=him/it king Yisrael not that/for/because/then/when he/it_called YHWH for,three_of the,kings the=these to,give DOM,them in/on/at/with,hand_of Mōʼāⱱ )

Elisha uses this rhetorical question to emphasize that he and the king have nothing in common. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “I have nothing to do with you.” or “I have nothing in common with you.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) to give them into the hand of Moab

Here the “hand of Moab” refers the Moab’s “control.” Alternate translation: “to give them over to the control of Moab” or “to allow them to be captured by the Moabite army”
