Absalom is speaking of himself in the third person as your servant to show humility. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in a humble form in the first person. Alternate translation: [I have hired shearers … with me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go

יֵֽלֶךְ־נָ֥א הַ⁠מֶּ֛לֶךְ וַ⁠עֲבָדָ֖י⁠ו

go now (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_went ʼAⱱīshālōm to/towards the=king and=he/it_said see/lo/see! now sheepshearers [belong]_to,servant_of,your go now the=king and,servants_of,his with servant_of,your )

In a context such as this, your language might say “come” instead of go, here and in the next verse. Alternate translation: [May the king and his servants please come]

Even though Absalom is addressing David directly, he is speaking of him in the third person as the king to show respect. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in a respectful form in the second person. Alternate translation: [you, O king, and your servants]
