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
in/on/at/with,valley_of the,Siddim
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”
14:1-16 In this skirmish typical of ancient politics, powerful kings formed a coalition to subjugate smaller vassal states.

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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
