OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_was just_as_finished Yəhōshūˊa and_the_sons of_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) to_defeat_them a_defeat great very until they_were_finished and_the_survivors they_survived from_them and_they_came into the_cities_of (the)_fortification.

OET (OET-RV) So Yehoshua and the Israelis finished most of them off, although some did manage to escape and get back into their fortified cities.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:1–27 Five Canaanite Kings attacked the Israelites

The kings of five Canaanite towns joined together to fight against Gibeon. Because the Israelites had a peace treaty with Gibeon, they helped them in their fight. Yahweh helped the Israelites by sending down hailstones on the Canaanites, and by causing the sun to stop moving so that the Israelites could continue their victory. The five Canaanite kings were captured and put to death.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Israel defeated the Canaan group

The sun stood still

10:20a

So Joshua and the Israelites continued to inflict a terrible slaughter

So Joshua and the Israelites: The phrase Joshua and the Israelites refers to Joshua and the Israelite army.

continued to inflict a terrible slaughter: The clause continued to inflict a terrible slaughter is a Hebrew idiom. It indicates that the Israelite army killed many of the Amorite soldiers.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

Joshua and the Israelites destroyed them completely (NIV)

Joshua and the men of Israel slaughtered them (GNT)

10:20b

until they had finished them off,

until they had finished them off: The clause until they had finished them off indicates that the Israelite army killed almost all the Amorite soldiers. This clause restates the information in 10:20a. It emphasizes how completely the Israelites defeated the Amorites. If repetition is not a natural way to show emphasis, it may be more natural to combine 20a and b. For example,

So Joshua and the Israelites killed the enemy (NCV)

Joshua and the Israelites defeated them decisively, almost destroying them (GW)

In some languages there may be grammatical particles or other means that you can use to emphasize this important information in the story.

10:20c

and the remaining survivors retreated to the fortified cities.

and: It may be more natural in many languages to begin a new sentence and to leave the word and untranslated.

the remaining survivors: The phrase the remaining survivors indicates that a few Amorite soldiers were still alive.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

and when the survivors (NRSV)

but the few who were left (NIV)

retreated to the fortified cities: The clause retreated to the fortified cities indicates that a few Amorite soldiers who remained alive escaped into their own towns. These towns had walls to protect them.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-poetry

לְ⁠הַכּוֹתָ֛⁠ם מַכָּ֥ה גְדוֹלָֽה־מְאֹ֖ד

to,defeat,them slaughter great very

See how you translated the similar expression in [10:10](../10/10.md). Alternate translation: [striking them very severely]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

עָרֵ֥י הַ⁠מִּבְצָֽר

cities_of of_(the),fortification

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of fortification, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [their fortified cities]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

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.
