Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
נִגָּפִ֥ים הֵ֛ם
defeating they
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [We are beating them]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
כְּבָרִאשֹׁנָ֑ה
as,in/on/at/with,first
The author is using the adjective first as a noun to mean the first battle. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [in the first battle]
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
וּֽנְתַקְּנֻ֔הוּ
and,draw_~_away,them
The pronoun him refers to the army of Benjamin. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [let us draw their army]
20:29-44 The third day’s battle followed the same strategies of deception and ambush that were used to conquer Ai (Josh 8:1-29).

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.
