Ekron, with its towns and villages;
¶ There was also Ekron, together with the towns and villages that surrounded it.
¶ The people of Judah also received Ekron Town with its nearby towns and villages.
Ekron, with its towns and villages: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as towns is literally “daughters.” It refers to small settlements that were dependent on a larger town.15:45 Boling and Wright p. 387.
Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:
There was also the town of Ekron, together with the towns and villages that surrounded it

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּבְנֹתֶ֖יהָ
and,daughters_of,its
Here, the author speaks of the city of Ekron as if it were a woman, and the surrounding small towns that were dependent on Ekron as if they were its daughters. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and its surrounding settlements]
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.
