Joab rebukes David for "hating those who love him and loving those who hate him", because David is overwhelmed by his grief for Absolom and says nothing to the men who have just fought for him in battle. Joab might be exagerating when he says " for today I know that if Absalom were alive and all of us were dead today, then you would be pleased." but there's probably an element of truth their. The king was more concerned over his own son than the rest of the nation, our ultimate KING sacrificied his son out of love for the entire world.
