Exegesis
The verse opens with the infinitive constructs le’ahavah {לְאַהֲבָה֙ | lə-ʾa-hă-vāh} ‘to love’ and u-le-sano {וּלְשׂנֹ֔א | ū-lə-sə-nôʾ} ‘and to hate,’ forming an antonymic parallelism that frames the rebuke.

“to hate”
In context — 2 Samuel 19:6
To love those who hate you and to hate those who love you, for you have declared today that neither princes nor servants matter to you. For I know today that if Avshalom were alive and we were all dead today, it would be right in your eyes.
