לוֹ֩
to=him/it
The phrase against him could mean: (1) to the disadvantage of Abimelek, that is, discrediting his authority and undermining the stability of his rule. Alternate translation: [to his disadvantage] (2) to watch for Abimelek and try to capture him. Alternate translation: [to try to capture him]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
עַ֚ל רָאשֵׁ֣י הֶהָרִ֔ים
on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in tops_of the,mountains
By hills, the author may mean Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal. (This word can describe either hills or mountains.) The city of Shechem was in a valley between those two mountains. See how you translated the expression “on the top of Mount Gerizim” in 9:7. Alternate translation: [up high on Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וַיֻּגַּ֖ד לַאֲבִימֶֽלֶךְ
and,reported to,Abimelech
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [and someone told Abimelek about this]
9:25 An informer foiled the plot against Abimelech, but social conditions were deteriorating as God’s curse played out.

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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
