עַבְדֵ֨י דָוִ֤ד וְיוֹאָב֙
servants_of Dāvid and,Joab
The author is using this possessive form to mean not people who served both David and Joab but people who served David, including Joab. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [Joab and other servants of David]

and,Abner not,he with (Some words not found in UHB: and=see/lo/see! servants_of Dāvid and,Joab he/it_came from,the,raid and,plunder much with,them brought and,Abner not,he with Dāvid in,Hebron that/for/because/then/when he,had_sent_him_away and=he/it_went in,peace )
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [But since David had sent Abner away and he had gone in peace, he was not with David in Hebron]
