QUOTE_NOT_FOUND: and {those} who {were} from the cities
(Some words not found in UHB: and,turned and,fled the,wilderness,toward to/towards rock the,Rimmon and,cut_down,them in/on/at/with,highways five thousand (a)_man and,pursued after,them until Gidˊom and,struck_down from=him/it thousand (a)_man )
The author is using the plural form cities in a context where the singular term “city” would suffice. This suggests that he may be using the plural form for emphasis. Your language may use plural forms in the same way. If not, you could express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [and those who were coming out of the city, where the Benjaminites could no longer find refuge,]
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
QUOTE_NOT_FOUND: And they turned and fled & And they gleaned
(Some words not found in UHB: and,turned and,fled the,wilderness,toward to/towards rock the,Rimmon and,cut_down,them in/on/at/with,highways five thousand (a)_man and,pursued after,them until Gidˊom and,struck_down from=him/it thousand (a)_man )
The first they refers to the remaining Benjaminite soldiers, while the second they refers to the Israelite soldiers. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [And the remaining Benjaminite soldiers turned and fled ... And the Israelite soldiers gleaned]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
QUOTE_NOT_FOUND: And they gleaned along the pathways 5,000 men
(Some words not found in UHB: and,turned and,fled the,wilderness,toward to/towards rock the,Rimmon and,cut_down,them in/on/at/with,highways five thousand (a)_man and,pursued after,them until Gidˊom and,struck_down from=him/it thousand (a)_man )
The author is speaking as if these men were leftover crops that the Israelite soldiers gleaned. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: [And they picked off another 5,000 men along the pathways] or [And they killed another 5,000 men along the pathways as they were trying to flee]
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
QUOTE_NOT_FOUND: And they pursued closely after him unto Gidom, and they struck from him 2,000 men
(Some words not found in UHB: and,turned and,fled the,wilderness,toward to/towards rock the,Rimmon and,cut_down,them in/on/at/with,highways five thousand (a)_man and,pursued after,them until Gidˊom and,struck_down from=him/it thousand (a)_man )
The pronoun they refers in both instances to the Israelite soldiers, and the pronoun him refers in both instances to the remaining Benjaminite soldiers. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [And the Israelite soldiers pursued closely after the remaining Benjaminites unto Gidom, and the Israelites killed 2,000 more of the Benjaminites]
20:36-48 This section gives a second account of the battle.

OET (OET-RV) and the rest turned and fled into the wilderness towards the Rimmon rock. Another five thousand men were killed along the trails. They chased them all the way to Gidom, and killed another two thousand men,
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.
