OET (OET-RV) Then the Ammonites also crossed over the Yordan to fight against Yehudah, against Benyamin, and against the half-tribe of Efraim.
¶ This caused incredible distress for the Israelis
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּבְבֵ֣ית אֶפְרָ֑יִם
and,in/on/at/with,house_of Efrayim
The author is using the word house to mean all the people descended from a particular person. So by the house of Ephraim, he means all the people descended from Ephraim, who was one of the twelve sons of Jacob. It is not clear why he uses this expression for this tribe but not for the other two tribes he mentions. In your translation, you could speak of Ephraim the same way the author speaks of Judah and Benjamin. Alternate translation: [and with Ephraim]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וַתֵּ֥צֶר לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מְאֹֽד
and,distressed to,Israel very
See how you translated the same expression in 2:15. Alternate translation: [and Israel was in great distress]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וַתֵּ֥צֶר לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מְאֹֽד
and,distressed to,Israel very
See the discussion in the General Introduction to Judges of the use of a person’s name to mean his descendants, and see how you translated the similar expression in 1:1. Alternate translation: [and the Israelites were in great distress]
10:6-16 The Lord responded to his people’s total apostasy by allowing crushing oppression (10:8). As usual, Israel cried out to the Lord for help (10:10) only after experiencing great distress (10:9). Normally, Israel’s cry led to divine intervention, but God’s decision to leave them to their chosen gods marks a shift in the cycle described in 2:10-19. Only when the Israelites put aside their foreign gods and served the Lord did he again act to redeem them (10:17–11:33).

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.
