וְהָעָ֥ם נִחָ֖ם לְבִנְיָמִ֑ן כִּֽי עָשָׂ֧ה יְהוָ֛ה פֶּ֖רֶץ בְּשִׁבְטֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
and,the,people had_compassion for,Benjamin that/for/because/then/when he/it_had_made YHWH breach in/on/at/with,tribes_of Yisrael
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: [And because Yahweh had made a breach in the tribes of Israel, the people repented itself for Benjamin]

that/for/because/then/when he/it_had_made YHWH breach in/on/at/with,tribes_of Yisrael
The author is speaking as if the tribes of Israel were a wall and Yahweh had made a breach or hole in it by removing the tribe of Benjamin. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [for Yahweh had removed one of the tribes from Israel]
21:15-17 The people felt sorry for Benjamin: Israel was concerned about the brokenness of the nation.
• The gap in Israel was an act of the Lord, because the war against Benjamin had been a response to the Lord’s covenant.
