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 captured, 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: figures-of-speech / metonymy
מִפְּנֵ֖י
from=face/in_front_of
See the discussion of this phrase in the General Introduction to Judges, and see how you translated the similar expression in 2:3. Alternate translation: [away from the presence of]
Note 3 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]
9:1-57 The reign of Abimelech was the turning point between the comparative rest of the early period of judges (3:7–8:35) and the decline of the later years (10:1–16:31).

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.
