If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [for your servant told him to saddle a donkey for me and let me ride on it so that I could go with you]

אֶחְבְּשָׁה־לִּ⁠י֩ הַ⁠חֲמ֨וֹר

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_said my=master the=king servant_of,my he,betrayed_me that/for/because/then/when he/it_had_said servant_of,your saddle to/for=me the,donkey so,that_I_may_ride on/upon=it(f) and,so_that_I_may_go DOM the=king that/for/because/then/when lame servant_of,your )

Mephibosheth was speaking of himself as the one who would actively saddle a donkey for himself, but this was a way of instructing Ziba to saddle a donkey for him. If it would be clearer in your language, you could use an imperative form. Alternate translation: [Saddle a donkey for me] or [Make it possible for me to have a saddled donkey for myself]
