OET (OET-LV) And_ Yəhōshūˊa _he_came and_all the_people_of (the)_war with_him/it on_them at the_waters_of Mērōm suddenly and_they_fell on_them.

OET (OET-RV) Then Yehoshua and all his warriors went to Merom and attacked them without warning

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 11:1–15 The Israelites conquered the towns of northern Canaan

King Jabin, the king of Hazor, brought together the kings of the towns in Northern Canaan to fight against Israel. With the help of Yahweh, Joshua and the Israelites fought and defeated all these towns and killed their kings and their people.

Here is another possible section heading:

Israel defeated the northern towns

11:7a

So by the waters of Merom,

So by the waters of Merom: The waters of Merom were mentioned in 11:5b. The battle between the Israelites and the enemy armies took place near this riverbed.

11:7b

Joshua and his whole army came upon them suddenly and attacked them,

Joshua and his whole army came upon them suddenly: The clause Joshua and his whole army came upon them suddenly indicates that Joshua and his army attacked the Canaanite armies by surprise. These words are similar to the words in 10:9, and you may be able to translate them in a similar way.

and his whole army: The phrase and his whole army indicates that Joshua’s entire army was with him. In Hebrew, this is more literally “all the people of war with him”.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

Joshua and his whole army caught them by surprise (NET)

So Joshua and his whole army came against them suddenly (NIV)

and attacked them: The clause and attacked them indicates that Joshua and his army attacked the enemy armies. It may be more natural in some languages to combine this clause with the clause in 11:7a, for example:

So Joshua and all his men attacked them by surprise at Merom Brook (GNT)

Joshua and his army made a surprise attack against the enemy camp at Merom Pond (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

פִּתְאֹ֑ם וַֽ⁠יִּפְּל֖וּ בָּ⁠הֶֽם

suddenly and=they_fell on,them

The author is using a common expression to mean that the Israelites attacked their enemies suddenly. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and they attacked them suddenly]
