Verse 8 is talking about the same battle that is mentioned in verse 2, except it leaves out the names of the kings. Make sure in your translation that it does not sound like a different battle.

מֶֽלֶךְ סְדֹ֜ם וּ⁠מֶ֣לֶךְ עֲמֹרָ֗ה וּ⁠מֶ֤לֶךְ אַדְמָה֙ וּ⁠מֶ֣לֶךְ צְבוֹיִ֔ם וּ⁠מֶ֥לֶךְ בֶּ֖לַע

Be consistent in verse 8 with how you spelled the names of these cities in verse 2 and in Gen 10:19. Alternate translation: “the kings over the cities of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Bela,”

הִוא צֹ֑עַר

who/which Zoar

See how you translated this phrase in verse 2. Alternate translation: “which is now called Zoar,” or “that is, Zoar,”

וַ⁠יֵּצֵ֨א

and=he/it_went_out

Alternate translation: “went out with their armies”

בְּ⁠עֵ֖מֶק הַ⁠שִּׂדִּֽים

See how you translated this phrase in verse 3.

וַ⁠יַּֽעַרְכ֤וּ אִתָּ⁠ם֙ מִלְחָמָ֔ה

and,joined with=them battle

The Hebrew text is ambiguous here. It could mean: (1) “and assembled/prepared/positioned themselves for battle” or “and got ready to fight” or (2) “and joined/united together in battle”
