OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_was in/on/at/with_fled_they from_face/in_front_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) they in/on/at/with_descent_of Bēyt Ḩōrōn and_YHWH he_threw on_them stones large from the_heavens to ˊAzēqāh and_died were_many those_who they_died in/on/at/with_stones_of the_hail than_whom they_killed the_people_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) in/on/at/with_sword.
OET (OET-RV) As they fled from the Israelis on the slope down from Beyt-Horon heading towards Azekah, Yahweh hurled large hailstones down on them from the sky and they died—actually more of them died from the hail than were killed with swords by the Israelis.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בְּנֻסָ֣ם ׀ מִפְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל
in/on/at/with,fled,they from=face/in_front_of Yisrael
The author is using the expression from the face of by association to mean “in front of.” Since the fleeing enemies were in front of the Israelites, the Israelites were behind them, and it may be more natural in your language to express the meaning that way. Alternate translation: [as they were fleeing, with the Israelites pursuing closely behind them]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אֲבָנִ֨ים גְּדֹל֧וֹת מִן־הַשָּׁמַ֛יִם
stones large from/more_than the=heavens
As the author indicates later in the verse, these were not stones in the sense of rocks, but hail stones. It may be helpful to indicate this explicitly in your translation at this point in the verse. Alternate translation: [great hailstones from the sky]
10:1-43 Gibeon and its neighboring cities occupied a plateau north of Jerusalem (see study note on 7:2). With Gibeon now allied to Israel, control of the plateau and of the central hill country in the vicinity of Gibeon belonged to Israel. Throughout history, whoever has controlled the plateau has, in general, also controlled the hill country. The Canaanite kings had to conquer Gibeon or their cause was lost.

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.
