The author means implicitly that Ehud blew on the shofar to summon the Israelites to battle. The UST models one way to indicate this explicitly.

A shofar is the horn of a ram (a male sheep) that has been made into a musical instrument. If your readers would not be familiar with this, in your translation, you could use the name of a similar object that your readers would recognize, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: [a loud horn]

[was],before_of,them
See the discussion of this phrase in the Introduction to Judges, and see how you translated the similar expression in 2:3.

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.
