People tagged in the matching LV passage: Absalom
OET-LV (SA2 19:7) [fn] By_loving DOM those_of_who_hate_you and_by_hating DOM those_of_who_love_you if/because you_have_made_known the_day if/because_that there_are_not to/for_yourself(m) commanders and_servants if/because I_know the_day if/because_that if[fn] ʼAⱱīshālōm was_alive and_all_of_of_us the_day were_dead if/because_that then it_would_be_right in_eyes_of_your.
OET (OET-RV) By loving those who hate you and hating those who love you, you’ve effectively declared today that your officers and men mean nothing to you. It seems to us that if Avshalom was still alive today and we were all dead, then it would have all been okay to you.

Joab is saying that the implication is that David has shown by his actions, not necessarily by his words, how little he values his commanders and servants. You could indicate this in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [your actions have shown]

See how you translated the similar expression in 3:19. Alternate translation: [you would consider that to be a good thing]
