(Occurrence 0) Have I not commanded you?

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_commanded ʼAⱱīshālōm DOM servants,his to=say watch now when,merry heart ʼAmnōn in/on/at/with,wine and,say to,you_all strike DOM ʼAmnōn and,kill DOM=him/it not afraid am=not that/for/because/then/when I commanded DOM,you_all courageous and,be as,sons_of valiant )

Absalom asks this rhetorical question to emphasize that he will be blamed for killing Amnon because he is commanding them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “I will be the one guilty for killing him because I have commanded you to do this.”
