• Zeruiah was David’s sister (1 Chr 2:16), so Abishai was David’s nephew. The sons of Zeruiah (Abishai, Joab, and Asahel) were three of David’s most faithful followers (e.g., 2 Sam 2:18), but they sometimes caused David difficulty (see 2 Sam 3:39; 16:10; 19:22).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
וַיַּ֨עַן דָּוִ֜ד וַיֹּ֣אמֶר
and,said Dāvid and=he/it_said
This expression conveys a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word answered tells for what purpose David said this. Alternate translation: [In response to what he had seen, David said]
Note 2 topic: translate-names
צְרוּיָ֜ה
Tsərū\sup_yāh/(Zeruiah)
The word Zeruiah is the name of a woman. She was David’s older sister. (So the author is identifying Abishai, not Zeruiah, as the brother of Joab.)
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns
אֲנִ֖י אֵרֵ֥ד עִמָּֽךְ
I go_down with,you
For emphasis, Abishai is stating the pronoun I, whose meaning is already present in the verb translated will go down. If your language can state implied pronouns explicitly for emphasis, you may want to use that construction here in your translation. Other languages may have other ways of bringing out this emphasis. The ULT does so by using the intensive pronoun myself.
