Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
חֹ֨דֶשׁ֙
new_moon
David is using the term new moon by association to mean a feast that Saul would host on the occasion of the new moon. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [the new moon festival]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication
וְאָנֹכִ֛י יָשֹׁב־אֵשֵׁ֥ב
and,I to_sit I_should_sit
David is repeating forms of the verb “sit” in order to intensify his expression of the idea that it conveys. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [and I should certainly sit]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
עַ֖ד הָעֶ֥רֶב הַשְּׁלִשִֽׁית
until the,evening the,third
See how you translated the comparable expression in [9:20](../02/20.md). Express this time reference the way your language and culture would. The UST models one way to do that.
