OET (OET-LV) From the_mountain (the)_Ḩālāq which_goes_up Sēˊīr and_unto Baˊal Gād in_the_valley_of (the)_Ləⱱānōn under the_mountain_of Ḩermōn and_DOM all_of kings_of_their he_captured and_he_struck_them_down and_he_killed_them.
OET (OET-RV) from Mt. Halak downhill towards Seir, and as far as Baal-Gad in the Lebanon valley below Mt. Hermon. He attacked and captured all their kings and executed them.
In this section there is a summary of the towns that the Israelites conquered in the land of Canaan.
from Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir,
Joshua conquered the land from Mount Halak near Edom,
They conquered the land from Mount Halak near the country of Edom in the south,
from Mount Halak: Mount Halak was the southernmost place that the Israelites captured. The location of Mount Halak is uncertain, It may be the modern Jebel Halaq, which is 45 kilometers southeast of Beersheba.11:17 Rasmussen, p. 237.
which rises toward Seir: The clause which rises toward Seir indicates that Mount Halak was near the territory of Edom, which was also called Seir. Edom was south of the Dead Sea.11:17 Bratcher and Newman, p. 166.
as far as Baal-gad in the Valley of Lebanon at the foot of Mount Hermon.
to Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon, below Mount Hermon.
and north to Baal-gad City in the Lebanon Valley at the foot Hermon Mountain.
as far as Baal-gad: Baal-gad was a town in the valley of Lebanon at the western foot of Mount Hermon.11:17 Rasmussen, p. 228. The exact location of Baal-gad is unknown. This was the northernmost place that the Israelites captured.11:17 Howard, p. 272. Some English versions spell this “Baal Gad.”
in the Valley of Lebanon at the foot of Mount Hermon: Mount Hermon was a high mountain in the northeast of Israel. The Valley of Lebanon was near Mount Hermon. It may be the modern Beqa Valley. It may also include the valley of the Litani River further south.11:17 Hess, p. 216.
He captured all their kings and struck them down, putting them to death.
Joshua captured all the kings in the land and killed them.
They caught all the kings of this territory and killed them.
He captured all their kings: The clause He captured all their kings indicates that Joshua and the Israelite army captured all the kings who ruled the towns in the regions mentioned.
and struck them down, putting them to death: The two clauses struck them down and putting them to death have the same meaning. In some languages it may be more natural to combine these two clauses into one clause.
Here is another way to translate these clauses:
Joshua ordered his soldiers to kill these kings
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
וַיַּכֵּ֖ם וַיְמִיתֵֽם
and,he,struck_them_down and,he,killed_them
The terms struck and killed mean similar things. The author is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [and killed every one of them]

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.
