Since Yahweh delivered the Israelites before they failed to remember him, in your translation you may wish to relate these events in the order in which they happened. The UST models one way to do this.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְלֹ֤א זָֽכְרוּ֙
and=not remember
The author is speaking as if the Israelites literally did not remember who Yahweh was or what he had done for them. He means that they were not grateful to Yahweh and so did not respond the way grateful people would, with loyal devotion. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And … did not gratefully worship]
8:33-35 Gideon’s ephod (8:27) quickly became part of a pagan shrine honoring images of the ever-present Canaanite deity Baal, here called Baal-berith (“Baal of the covenant”). Fundamental to this apostasy were the twin themes of forgetting the Lord and his works and disloyalty to godly leadership. Remembering is basic to biblical, covenantal worship, from the time of the Exodus (Exod 12:14, 24) to the ongoing Christian celebration of the Lord’s Supper (1 Cor 11:25).
• loyalty: See study note on Judg 1:24.
