Here the word “hand” represents power. God enabling the army of Israel to defeat the army of Judah is spoken of as if God had put the army of Judah in the hand of the army of Israel. Alternate translation: [God enabled you to defeat them] (See also: figs-metaphor)

(Occurrence 0) you have slaughtered them in a rage that reached up to heaven

(Some words not found in UHB: and=there it_became prophet to/for=YHWH ˊŌdēd his/its=name and=he/it_went_out to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the,army [which,was]_coming to,Samaria and=he/it_said to/for=them see/lo/see! in,the_rage_of YHWH god_of your(pl)_ancestors_of,your(pl) on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Yehuda he,gave_them in,hand_of,your(pl) and,you(pl)_have_killed among,them in,a_rage until to,heavens reached )

Oded speaks of Yahweh knowing how severely the army of Israel slaughtered the army of Judah as if the rage with which the army of Israel slaughtered them were an object so large that it reached into heaven. That Yahweh knows what they have done implies that he will respond. Alternate translation: [you have slaughtered them in such great rage that Yahweh himself has noticed and will take vengeance] (See also: figs-explicit)
