וְ⁠אָמַרְתָּ֤ לְ⁠אַבְשָׁלוֹם֙ עַבְדְּ⁠ךָ֨ אֲנִ֤י הַ⁠מֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ אֶֽהְיֶ֔ה עֶ֣בֶד אָבִ֤י⁠ךָ וַֽ⁠אֲנִי֙ מֵ⁠אָ֔ז וְ⁠עַתָּ֖ה וַ⁠אֲנִ֣י עַבְדֶּ֑⁠ךָ

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [and address Absalom as king and tell him that you are his servant. Say that just as previously you were the servant of his father, so now you will be his servant]

David is speaking as if Ahithophel’s advice were actually a physical object that Hushai could break up. He means that Hushai could prevent Absalom from accepting or following Ahithophel’s advice. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [then you will be able to help me by preventing Absalom from following Ahithophel’s advice] or [then you will be able to counter Ahithophel’s advice for my benefit]
