You love those who hate you and hate those who love you! For you have made it clear today that the commanders and soldiers mean nothing to you. I know today that if Absalom were alive and all of us were dead, it would have pleased you!
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
in that you love those who hate you, and hate those who love you. For you have declared this day, that princes and servants are nothing to you. For today I perceive that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it would have pleased you well.

In that thou lovest{H157}{(H8800)} thine enemies{H8130}{(H8802)}, and hatest{H8130}{(H8800)} thy friends{H157}{(H8802)}. For thou hast declared{H5046}{(H8689)} this day{H3117}, that thou regardest neither princes{H8269} nor servants{H5650}: for this day{H3117} I perceive{H3045}{(H8804)}, that if{H3863} Absalom{H53} had lived{H2416}, and all we had died{H4191}{(H8801)} this day{H3117}, then it had pleased thee well{H3477}{H5869}.
Strong's King James
to love thine enemies, and to hate those loving thee, for thou hast declared to-day that thou hast no princes and servants, for I have known to-day that if Absalom were alive, and all of us to-day dead, that then it were right in thine eyes.
