OET (OET-LV) And_there_was_no a_deliverer if/because [was]_far it from_Tsīdōn/(Sidon) and_dealings there_[belonged]_not to/for_them with anyone and_she in/on/at/with_valley which near wwww and_rebuilt DOM the_city and_they_lived in/on/at/with_it.
OET (OET-RV) No one came to rescue them because it was a long way from Tsidon and they did have much involvement with them anyway. (Layish was in the valley near Beyt-Rehob.) They rebuilt the city and then moved into it.

QUOTE_NOT_FOUND: And there was not a deliverer, for it was far from Sidon and no thing {was} to them with man
(Some words not found in UHB: and,there_was_no deliverer that/for/because/then/when far she/it from,Sidon and,dealings not to/for=them with humankind and=she in/on/at/with,valley which/who near, רְחוֹב and,rebuilt DOM the=city and=they_lived in/on/at/with,it )
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Since the city was far from Sidon and it had no alliances with nearby cities or people groups, there was no one to rescue them]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
QUOTE_NOT_FOUND: and no thing {was} to them with man
(Some words not found in UHB: and,there_was_no deliverer that/for/because/then/when far she/it from,Sidon and,dealings not to/for=them with humankind and=she in/on/at/with,valley which/who near, רְחוֹב and,rebuilt DOM the=city and=they_lived in/on/at/with,it )
See how you translated the same expression in 18:7.
Note 3 topic: writing-background
QUOTE_NOT_FOUND: Now it {was} in the valley that {is} to Beth Rehob
(Some words not found in UHB: and,there_was_no deliverer that/for/because/then/when far she/it from,Sidon and,dealings not to/for=them with humankind and=she in/on/at/with,valley which/who near, רְחוֹב and,rebuilt DOM the=city and=they_lived in/on/at/with,it )
The author is providing background information to help readers recognize where Laish was located. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.
18:28 Beth-rehob was perhaps an Aramean kingdom to the north (2 Sam 10:6). Nothing heroic, and no holy war, accrued to these Danite warriors who captured this defenseless city. Dan fulfilled Jacob’s mixed blessing by turning from the high calling of governing his people (Gen 49:16) to becoming “a snake beside the road, a poisonous viper along the path that bites the horse’s hooves so its rider is thrown off” (Gen 49:17).

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.
