and,kings (Some words not found in UHB: and,kings mighty had on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Yərūshelēm/(Jerusalem) and,having_mastery over,all_of province_beyond the,river and,tribute custom and,toll paid to,them )
These kings are described here in a spatial metaphor as being higher than or above Jerusalem to indicate that this was the place in which and from which they ruled. Alternate translation: [And powerful kings ruled from Jerusalem]
Note 2 topic: writing-background

(Some words not found in UHB: and,kings mighty had on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Yərūshelēm/(Jerusalem) and,having_mastery over,all_of province_beyond the,river and,tribute custom and,toll paid to,them )
This word even introduces further information. Alternate translation: [in fact, they ruled]
וְשַׁ֨לִּיטִ֔ין בְּכֹ֖ל עֲבַ֣ר נַהֲרָ֑ה
(Some words not found in UHB: and,kings mighty had on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Yərūshelēm/(Jerusalem) and,having_mastery over,all_of province_beyond the,river and,tribute custom and,toll paid to,them )
Alternate translation: [in fact, they ruled over the whole area that is Beyond-the-River province]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וּמִדָּ֥ה בְל֛וֹ וַהֲלָ֖ךְ מִתְיְהֵ֥ב לְהֽוֹן
(Some words not found in UHB: and,kings mighty had on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Yərūshelēm/(Jerusalem) and,having_mastery over,all_of province_beyond the,river and,tribute custom and,toll paid to,them )
If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this with an active form, and you could say who did the action. Alternate translation: [these kings conquered other nations and made them pay tribute] or [these kings conquered other nations and made them pay taxes, tribute, and duty]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
וּמִדָּ֥ה בְל֛וֹ וַהֲלָ֖ךְ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,kings mighty had on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Yərūshelēm/(Jerusalem) and,having_mastery over,all_of province_beyond the,river and,tribute custom and,toll paid to,them )
See how you translated this phrase in [4:13](../04/13.md). (A doublet can involve the use of more than two words.)
OET (OET-LV) And_kings strong they_were over Yərūshelēm/(Jerusalem) and_having_mastery over_all_of the_region_beyond the_river and_tribute tax and_toll was_being_paid to_them.
OET (OET-RV) Powerful kings have reigned from Yerushalem and ruled the entire region that side of the river, and had taxes and tributes paid to them.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
