and,made covenant in/on/at/with, שָׁבַע
Consider whether it is better in your language to use a pronoun or nouns here to refer to these men. Some languages have a special dual pronoun for they that fits well here. Also, see how you translated the idiom “cut … covenant” in verse 27. Alternate translation: “After Abraham and King Abimelech established their peace agreement at Beersheba,”

See how you translated got up in verse 22. Alternate translation: “Abimelech and Phicol, his army commander left from there” or “Abimelech and his army commander Phicol left Abraham”
אֶל אֶ֥רֶץ פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים
to/towards earth/land Pelishtim
Abimelech and Phicol probably returned to their homes in the city of Gerar (Gen 20:2), which at that time was the Philistines’ capital city, where Abimelech ruled from. The place in the desert where Abimelech and Abraham made their covenant (Beersheba) was probably located on the border of the Philistines’ territory. Alternate translation: “to the land where the Philistines lived.”
21:32 The Philistines in Genesis are different from the Philistines of Judges through Kings. The earlier Philistines had Semitic names (e.g., Abimelech) and Canaanite culture. The later Philistines were apparently of Greek origin, with Greek customs and culture. They seem to have arrived in Canaan by sea from the Aegean area around 1200 BC, during the time of the judges. Probably the name of the later Philistines was used here simply to describe the region’s earlier inhabitants.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
