OET (OET-RV) The Amoni king responded to Yiftah’s messengers, “Because the Israelis seized my land when they came out of Mitsrayim (Egypt). It went from the Arnon river up to the Yabok river, and over to the Yarden (Jordan) river. Now return the land peaceably.”

The Ammonite king is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [I have come against you to fight because Israel took my land]
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
אֶתְהֶ֖ן
,them
The Ammonite king is using the plural pronoun them to refer to the areas bounded by the rivers he names. However, since he uses the singular term land to describe this entire territory, it may be more natural in your language to use a singular pronoun. Alternate translation: [it]

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of peace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [peacefully]
