See how you translated this expression in 2:6.

לָמָ֥ה אַתֶּ֛ם מַחֲרִשִׁ֖ים לְהָשִׁ֥יב אֶת־הַמֶּֽלֶךְ
,why? (Some words not found in UHB: and,Absalom which/who anointed over,us died in,battle and=now ,why? you(pl) say_nothing to,bring_back DOM the,king )
The people are using the question form to criticize those who are not taking action to bring back the king. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [you should not be silent about bringing back the king!]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
לָמָ֥ה אַתֶּ֛ם מַחֲרִשִׁ֖ים
,why? (Some words not found in UHB: and,Absalom which/who anointed over,us died in,battle and=now ,why? you(pl) say_nothing to,bring_back DOM the,king )
The word you is plural here because groups of Israelites are addressing one another, so use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

,why? (Some words not found in UHB: and,Absalom which/who anointed over,us died in,battle and=now ,why? you(pl) say_nothing to,bring_back DOM the,king )
Here, being silent represents not taking action. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [why are you doing nothing]
