Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
הָעָ֗ם & הָעָם֙
the,troops & the,people
In its first instance in this verse, the expression the people refers to Abimelek’s army, as in 9:34–38. In its second instance, this expression refers to the citizens of Shechem, as in 9:42. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. The UST models one way to do this.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַיֶּאֱרֹ֖ב
and,lay_in_wait
See how you translated the word “hide” in 9:32. Alternate translation: “and set an ambush”
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.
