and,determined the=Emori to,live in/on/at/with,mount Ḩereş in/on/at/with,Aijalon and,in/on/at/with,Shaalbim
The author is leaving some information implicit that he assumes readers will understand. You could state this information explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [And the Amorites resolved to dwell at Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, and so the Israelites were not able to dispossess them]
Note 2 topic: translate-names
בְּהַר־חֶ֔רֶס
in/on/at/with,mount Ḩereş
Mount Heres is the name of a large hill on which the city of Aijalon was built.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַתִּכְבַּד֙ יַ֣ד בֵּית־יוֹסֵ֔ף
and,rested_heavily hand house_of Yōşēf/(Joseph)
Saying that the hand of a person or group became heavy means that the person or group became strong. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [but the house of Joseph became strong]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
בֵּית־יוֹסֵ֔ף
house_of Yōşēf/(Joseph)
See how you translated the phrase the house of Joseph in 1:22. Alternate translation: [the descendants of Joseph]

1:21-36 The tribes of Israel failed to keep the covenant; their complacency was rebellion against the Lord, as the rest of the book of Judges shows.
