uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

רְאוּ֩

look

Absalom is using the term See to focus his servants’ attention on what he is about to say. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. See how you translated the similar expression in [7:2](../07/02.md). Alternate translation: [Listen]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אֶל־יָדִ⁠י֙

to/towards to/towards hand_of,my

Absalom is using to my hand as a common expression of his culture to mean “next to mine.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [is next to mine]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

לְכ֖וּ וְהַצִּית֣וּהָ בָ⁠אֵ֑שׁ

go (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to/towards servants_of,his look field_of Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab)'s to/towards hand_of,my and=to/for=him/it there barley go and,set,it_on_fire with,fire and,they_set_on_fire servants_of ʼAⱱīshālōm's DOM the_portion,land with,fire )

It might seem that the expression burn it with fire contains extra information that would not be natural to express in your language. If so, you could shorten it, here, in the next sentence, and in the next verse. Alternate translation: [Go and burn it] or [Go and set it on fire]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

חֶלְקַ֨ת

field_of

Here, the author is saying the property to represent the barley that was growing on the property. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [the barley]
