OET (OET-RV) So all the people also each cut off a branch and then followed Abimelek. They piled them on top of the underground chamber, and that’s how they burnt out the underground chamber. As a result, all the distinguished people in the tower of Shekem also died—about a thousand men and women.

וַיַּצִּ֧יתוּ עֲלֵיהֶ֛ם אֶֽת־הַצְּרִ֖יחַ בָּאֵ֑שׁ
and,they_set_fire over,them DOM the,stronghold in/on/at/with,fire
This could mean: (1) that Abimelek and his men burned the citadel by means of the branches. Alternate translation: [and they used them to burn the citadel with fire] (2) that the flames from the branches went up and burned the walls and tower of the citadel. Alternate translation: [and they burned with fire the citadel that was above the branches]

and,they_set_fire over,them DOM the,stronghold in/on/at/with,fire
It might seem that the expression burned … with fire contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: [and they used them to set fire to the citadel] or [and they burned the citadel with them]
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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
