כִּ֠י תְּשַׁ֨ע מֵא֤וֹת רֶֽכֶב־בַּרְזֶל֙ ל֔וֹ
that/for/because/then/when nine hundreds chariots iron to=him/it
The pronouns him and he seem to refer to Sisera, since these chariots were under his command. Alternate translation: “because Sisera had 900 iron chariots”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
רֶֽכֶב־בַּרְזֶל֙
chariots iron
See how you translated the same expression in 1:19. Alternate translation: “chariots fitted out with iron”
4:3 Contemporary records confirm that armies like Sisera’s had large numbers of iron chariots. Such a force would have expected overwhelming victory over the lightly-armed Israelite infantry.

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.
