(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it the=king to/for=what speak again/more words_of,your decided you(ms) and,Ziba divide DOM the=field )
This could mean: (1) that David is using the term words to represent what Mephibosheth has been saying by using words. Alternate translation: [Why are you still speaking like that]; (2) that the term words has the sense of “matters,” as in 18:13. Alternate translation: [Why do you still speak of your affairs]

לָ֛מָּה תְּדַבֵּ֥ר ע֖וֹד דְּבָרֶ֑יךָ
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it the=king to/for=what speak again/more words_of,your decided you(ms) and,Ziba divide DOM the=field )
The king is using the question form to discourage Mephibosheth from speaking further. 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 do not need to keep speaking like that] or [You do not need to speak any further of your affairs]

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it the=king to/for=what speak again/more words_of,your decided you(ms) and,Ziba divide DOM the=field )
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [I have said that you and Ziba shall divide the field]

אָמַ֕רְתִּי
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to=him/it the=king to/for=what speak again/more words_of,your decided you(ms) and,Ziba divide DOM the=field )
David is using the past tense in order to pronounce his judgment in this case. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the present tense in your translation. Alternate translation: [My decision is]

See how you translated the similar expression in 9:7. Alternate translation: [the fields] or [the lands]
