See how you translated the word “Arise” in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [Go ahead … So Gideon took action]

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Zeⱱaḩ and,Zalmunna get_up you(ms) and,fall on,us that/for/because/then/when [is]_like,man strength_of,his and=he/it_rose_up Gidˊōn and,he_killed DOM Zeⱱaḩ and=DOM Tsalmunnāˊ/(Zalmunna) and=he/it_took DOM the,ornaments which/who [were]_on,the_necks_of their_camels_of,their )

Zebah and Zalmunna may be expressing their meaning by using a short popular saying of the culture. They probably mean that Gideon should not have expected that a boy would have had the strength or courage to kill them. Your culture may have a comparable saying that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [It takes a man to do a man’s job]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

כִּ֥י כָ⁠אִ֖ישׁ גְּבוּרָת֑⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Zeⱱaḩ and,Zalmunna get_up you(ms) and,fall on,us that/for/because/then/when [is]_like,man strength_of,his and=he/it_rose_up Gidˊōn and,he_killed DOM Zeⱱaḩ and=DOM Tsalmunnāˊ/(Zalmunna) and=he/it_took DOM the,ornaments which/who [were]_on,the_necks_of their_camels_of,their )

You may wish to use punctuation to indicate that Zebah and Zalmunna may be quoting a popular saying of the culture. You could put this sentence within second-level quotation marks, or you could use some other punctuation or convention of your language.

DOM DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Zeⱱaḩ and,Zalmunna get_up you(ms) and,fall on,us that/for/because/then/when [is]_like,man strength_of,his and=he/it_rose_up Gidˊōn and,he_killed DOM Zeⱱaḩ and=DOM Tsalmunnāˊ/(Zalmunna) and=he/it_took DOM the,ornaments which/who [were]_on,the_necks_of their_camels_of,their )

The word translated as ornaments describes crescent-shaped decorations made of gold. If your readers would not be familiar with such objects, in your translation you could describe them more fully. The UST models one way to do this.
