and=he/it_blessed DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_fell Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) to/towards his/its=faces/face towards=land and,he_bowed_down and=he/it_blessed DOM the=king and=he/it_said Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) the=day knowing servant_of,your that/for/because/then/when found graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty in,eyes_of,your my=master the=king which/who he/it_had_made the=king DOM message/matter_of your_servant_of,your )
The author does not mean that Joab gave David his blessing, since an inferior does not bless a superior. He means that Joab wished that Yahweh would bless David for agreeing that Absalom could return. In your translation, you may wish to represent what Joab may have said as a direct quotation. Alternate translation: [and he said, “May Yahweh bless you, O king!”]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
