uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יָּ֣נָס יוֹתָ֔ם וַ⁠יִּבְרַ֖ח

and,fled Yōtām/(Jotham) and,fled

While the words escaped and fled mean similar things, the author does not seem to be using them together for emphasis (for example, to mean “hurriedly ran away”) or to express a single idea through them (for example, to mean “escaped by running away”). He seems to mean implicitly that Jotham escaped from Shechem, that is, he was able to shout his message without being captures, and then fled to the city of Beer where he was apparently safe from Abimelek. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “Then Jotham escaped from Shechem and fled for safety”

Note 2 topic: translate-names

בְּאֵ֑רָ⁠ה

Beer,to

The word Beer is the name of a city.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מִ⁠פְּנֵ֖י

from=face/in_front_of

Here the word face represents the presence of a person by association with the way people can see the face of someone who is present. Alternate translation: “from the presence of” or “where he was safe from”

Note 4 topic: translate-kinship

אָחִֽי⁠ו

his/its=woman

Jotham and Abimelek had the same father but not the same mother. Your language may have its own term or expression for this relationship. Alternate translation: “his father’s son”
