OET (OET-RV) and Yahweh enabled them to defeat them.

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

11:8a

and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel,

and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel: The clause the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel indicates that Yahweh helped the Israelite army defeat the Canaanites.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

The Lord gave the Israelites victory over them (GNT)

The Lord helped Israel defeat the enemy (CEV)

11:8b

who struck them down and pursued them all the way to Greater Sidon and Misrephoth-maim,

who struck them down: The word struck comes from the verb “to strike” which means “to hit.” This is an idiom for killing. The clause struck them indicates that the Israelite army killed many soldiers in the enemy army. It may be more natural in some languages to begin a new sentence here. For example:

The Israelites killed them

and pursued them: The clause pursued them indicates that the Israelite army chased the Canaanites as they ran away and killed the people whom they overtook.

all the way to Greater Sidon: The town of Greater Sidon was to the northwest on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.11:8 Hess, p. 112, Map B.

and Misrephoth-maim: The location of the town of Misrephoth-maim is uncertain. It was probably north of Galilee, near Sidon, possibly near the Litani River.11:8 Rasmussen, p. 245. Some scholars think it was on the coast near the modern border between Lebanon and Israel.11:8 Boling and Wright, p. 308.

11:8c

and eastward as far as the Valley of Mizpeh.

and eastward as far as the Valley of Mizpeh: The Israelite army chased them in a circular path around the borders of Galilee. They went northwest towards Greater Sidon and then south towards the town of Misrephoth-maim. Then they turned eastward to the Valley of Mizpeh.

This Valley of Mizpeh is probably the same place as the “land of Mizpah” mentioned in verse 11:3c. It is recommended that you spell this name the same way in both places.

11:8d

They struck them down, leaving no survivors.

They struck them down: The clause They struck them down indicates that the Israelite army killed the enemy soldiers. This clause is like the clause in 11:8b. It is repeated here for emphasis.

leaving no survivors: The clause leaving no survivors indicates that the Israelite army killed all the soldiers who had gathered to attack them.

It may be more natural in some languages to translate this clause as an independent sentence. For example:

None of the enemy soldiers escaped alive (CEV)

They killed them until all of them were dead

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠יִּתְּנֵ֨⁠ם יְהוָ֥ה בְּ⁠יַֽד־יִשְׂרָאֵל֮

and,he,gave_them YHWH in,the_hand_of Yisrael

See how you translated the same expression in [10:8](../10/08.md) and its other occurrences in Chapter 10.

Note 2 topic: translate-names

מִשְׂרְפ֣וֹת מַ֔יִם

Misrephoth- waters

The expression Misrephoth Maim is the name of a place.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מִזְרָ֑חָ⁠ה

eastwards,

The author is using the term sunrise by association to mean the eastern direction. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [from the east]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

עַד־בִּלְתִּ֥י הִשְׁאִֽיר־לָ⁠הֶ֖ם שָׂרִֽיד

until until no left to/for=them survivors

The pronoun he refers to Joshua. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [until Joshua did not leave any of them alive]
