The watchman assumes that the king will understand that by the driving, he means the driving of the person to whom the two messengers spoke. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and the driving of the person to whom the two messengers spoke]

Here the word For introduces not a reason but an explanation. Alternate translation: [I say that because]

The watchman is saying with madness as an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [furiously]
