Because David is speaking to Zadok, Nathan, and Benaiah, the command Take and the words you and your throughout this verse are plural.
Note 2 topic: translate-plural
אֲדֹנֵיכֶ֔ם
lord,your_all's
Here David could be using the plural lords: (1) to refer to just himself. In this case, he uses the plural form because it was a respectful way to refer to a person who had authority. Alternate translation: “your lord” (2) to refer to all the important officials who still supported David as king. Alternate translation: “the lords who still serve me”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
אֲדֹנֵיכֶ֔ם
lord,your_all's
If David uses the plural form lords to refer to himself, then he is speaking about himself in the third person. If this would not be natural in your language, you could use the first person form. Alternate translation: “me, your lord”

Gihon
The word Gihon is the name of a spring near the city of Jerusalem, on the east side.
1:33 Riding the king’s own mule was a sign of prestige. In an ancient text from Mari, King Zimri-Lim was advised that royal protocol would be served by his riding in a donkey cart. David’s sons rode mules (2 Sam 13:29; 18:9). Similarly Zechariah predicts that Israel’s king will come “riding on a donkey’s colt” (Zech 9:9), a prophecy fulfilled by Jesus (Matt 21:4-7; John 12:14-15). With Solomon mounted on David’s royal mule, the people would know that Solomon’s anointing as king had David’s blessing.
• The Gihon Spring, just outside Jerusalem’s eastern slopes, was the city’s major water source. In this common gathering place, Solomon’s anointing would be well known, yet not visible to Adonijah’s supporters at En-rogel.
