Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
מַֽחֲנֵיהֶם֙
armies,their
The author is using the term camps by association to mean the armies that were camped in them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “their armies”

וְס֥וּס וָרֶ֖כֶב רַב מְאֹֽד
and,horses and,chariots great//chief/captain very
The author is not referring to a specific horse or chariot. He means horses and chariots in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using plural forms. Alternate translation: “and many horses and chariots”
11:4 In the ancient Near East at this time, horses only pulled chariots; cavalry and mounted bowmen did not appear until centuries later.
• Israel probably faced chariots for the first time in this battle against the northern coalition, where the land was flatter than in southern Canaan. As the heavy weapons of the battlefield, chariots easily overpowered foot soldiers. Scythes were often attached to the axles, and charioteers drove at opposing infantry to mow them down.
