OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said the_king to ʼAⱱīshālōm no my_son_of_my not please of_us_of_all let_us_go and_not we_will_be_heavy on_you and_he_urged in/on/over_him/it and_not he_was_willing to_go and_he_blessed_him.
OET (OET-RV) “No, my son,” the king replied. “There’s too many of us—it would be too expensive for you.” Abshalom he urged him, but he wouldn’t go, however he did bless him.

and=not (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said the=king to/towards ʼAⱱīshālōm not my_son_of,my not now go of_us_of,all and=not burdensome on,you and,he_urged in/on/over=him/it and=not would to=go and,he,blessed_him )
The king is using the word translated as and to introduce an outcome that he does not want to happen. Because of this, he first gives Absalom an instruction to follow so that this will not happen. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that avoiding this outcome is the purpose of the instruction. Alternate translation: [otherwise, we would be heavy to you]

וְלֹ֥א נִכְבַּ֖ד עָלֶ֑יךָ
and=not (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said the=king to/towards ʼAⱱīshālōm not my_son_of,my not now go of_us_of,all and=not burdensome on,you and,he_urged in/on/over=him/it and=not would to=go and,he,blessed_him )
Here, the king is speaking as if he and his sons were heavy objects that would weigh Absalom down. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. You could also use plain language, as the UST does. Alternate translation: [so that we will not be a burden to you]
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיִּפְרָץ־בּ֛וֹ וְלֹֽא־אָבָ֥ה לָלֶ֖כֶת וַֽיְבָרֲכֵֽהוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said the=king to/towards ʼAⱱīshālōm not my_son_of,my not now go of_us_of,all and=not burdensome on,you and,he_urged in/on/over=him/it and=not would to=go and,he,blessed_him )
The pronoun he refers to Absalom in the first instance and to David in the next two instances. The pronoun him refers to David in the first instance and to Absalom in the second instance. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [Then Absalom urged David, but David was not willing to go, but David blessed Absalom]
OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said the_king to ʼAⱱīshālōm no my_son_of_my not please of_us_of_all let_us_go and_not we_will_be_heavy on_you and_he_urged in/on/over_him/it and_not he_was_willing to_go and_he_blessed_him.
OET (OET-RV) “No, my son,” the king replied. “There’s too many of us—it would be too expensive for you.” Abshalom he urged him, but he wouldn’t go, however he did bless him.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
