The leaders of Succoth are using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [The palm of Zebah and Zalmunna is not now in your hand, that we should give bread to your army!]

הֲ֠כַף זֶ֧בַח וְצַלְמֻנָּ֛ע עַתָּ֖ה בְּיָדֶ֑ךָ
[is]_the,palm?_of Zeⱱaḩ (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said officials_of Şukkōt [is]_the,palm?_of Zeⱱaḩ and,Zalmunna already in,hand_of,your that/for/because/then/when give to,army_of,your bread )
The leaders of Succoth are referring by association to Gideon and his men having captured Zebah and Zalmunna. While the source and meaning are not entirely clear of the expression palm … in your hand, it seems to refer to the way captured prisoners would have their hands tied or chained by a rope or chain that one of their captors would hold in his hand to lead them. Alternate translation: [Have you already captured Zebah and Zalmunna]

הֲ֠כַף
[is]_the,palm?_of
Since the leaders of Succoth are referring to two people, it might be more natural in your language to use the dual or plural form of palm. Alternate translation: [Are the palms]
