Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
לֹֽא הָיְתָ֣ה עִ֗יר אֲשֶׁ֤ר הִשְׁלִ֨ימָה֙ אֶל בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל בִּלְתִּ֥י הַחִוִּ֖י גִבְע֑וֹן
not she/it_was (a)_city which/who made_peace to/towards sons_of Yisrael except the=Hivvi (Some words not found in UHB: not she/it_was (a)_city which/who made_peace to/towards sons_of Yisrael except the=Hivvi inhabitants Giⱱˊōn DOM the,all taken in/on/at/with,battle )
The author is speaking of a city as if it were a living thing that could make peace. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “There was not a city whose people made peace with the sons of Israel except Gibeon, whose dwellers were Hivites”

לֹֽא הָיְתָ֣ה עִ֗יר אֲשֶׁ֤ר הִשְׁלִ֨ימָה֙ אֶל בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל בִּלְתִּ֥י הַחִוִּ֖י גִבְע֑וֹן
not she/it_was (a)_city which/who made_peace to/towards sons_of Yisrael except the=Hivvi (Some words not found in UHB: not she/it_was (a)_city which/who made_peace to/towards sons_of Yisrael except the=Hivvi inhabitants Giⱱˊōn DOM the,all taken in/on/at/with,battle )
If it would appear in your language that the author was making a statement and then contradicting it, you could reword this as a positive statement. Alternate translation: “Gibeon, whose dwellers were Hivites, was the only city whose people made peace with the Israelites”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
אֲשֶׁ֤ר הִשְׁלִ֨ימָה֙
which/who made_peace
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of peace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “that agreed to live peacefully”
11:19-20 The judgment on Canaan was God’s, not Israel’s. God had extended mercy to the Canaanites for several generations. However, God determined that “the sins of the Amorites” now “warrant their destruction” (Gen 15:16), and he hardened their hearts. God used Israel as the instrument and agent of his judgment, just as in later centuries God used other nations to execute judgment upon Israel and Judah for their sins.

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.
