Going across the Jordan with the king was a symbolic action by which Barzillai showed respect and honor to David, even though he would only go a short distance beyond the river. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text of your translation or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [To show respect and honor, according to a little your servant will go across the Jordan with the king]

(Some words not found in UHB: like,a_little cross_over servant_of,your DOM the,Jordan DOM the=king and=for=what? will,he_reward_me the=king the,reward (the),this )
Barzillai is using the question form for emphasis. 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: [But the king does not need to reward me this reward]
