UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

(Occurrence 0) It came about after two full years

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was after,years days and=they_were sheepshearers for,Absalom in/on/at/with, חָצוֹר which/who with Efrayim and=he/it_called ʼAⱱīshālōm to/from=all/each/any/every sons_of the,king's )

This explains that two whole years has passed and introduces the next event in the story line. The phrase “full years” means that they are complete years.
