Term: summon Bathsheba

summon Bathsheba

The Hebrew that is typically translated as “summon Bathsheba” in English in 1 Kings 1:28 had to be translated in Q’anjob’al in a manner that explained that she first left away (since she is mentioned as present in the preceding verses). To circumnavigate this problem, the translators mention in verse 23 that Bathsheba left.
