וַֽיִּקְרְאוּ֙ אֶל־בְּנֵי־דָ֔ן וַיַּסֵּ֖בּוּ פְּנֵיהֶ֑ם וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_called_out to/towards sons_of Dān and,they_turned faces_of,their and=they_said to,Micah what? [is]_to,you that/for/because/then/when assembled_together )
The pronoun they in the first instance refers to Micah and his neighbors, and it refers in the second two instances to the Danites. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [And Micah and his neighbors called to the Danites, and the Danites turned their faces and said]

what? (Some words not found in UHB: and,they_called_out to/towards sons_of Dān and,they_turned faces_of,their and=they_said to,Micah what? [is]_to,you that/for/because/then/when assembled_together )
The Danites are using a common expression of their culture to ask Micah what reason he has for assembling a group of men to pursue them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [For what reason have you assembled yourself]
Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

what? (Some words not found in UHB: and,they_called_out to/towards sons_of Dān and,they_turned faces_of,their and=they_said to,Micah what? [is]_to,you that/for/because/then/when assembled_together )
Since the Danites are asking about a group of people, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form of yourself. Alternate translation: [For what reason have you assembled yourselves]
OET-LV And_they_called_out to the_descendants_of Dān and_they_turned faces_of_their and_they_said to_Mīkāh what is_to_you that/for/because/then/when you_have_been_called_together.

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.
