OET (OET-RV) When all the Amorite kings who were on the west side of the Yordan (towards the ocean) and all the Canaanite kings (beside the ocean) heard how Yahweh had dried up the water in the Yordan River until the Israelis had crossed over, they trembled with fear and lost their nerve to stand against Israel.
Note 1 topic: writing-endofstory
וַיְהִ֣י
and=he/it_was
The author is using this phrase to introduce what happened at the end of the story of the Israelites crossing the Jordan River. Your language may have its own way of presenting such information.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
הָאֱמֹרִ֡י & הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי֙
the=Emori & the,Canaanites
The author is not referring to a specific Amorite or Canaanite. He means those people groups in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: “the Amorites … the Canaanites”

The word flint describes a type of hard stone. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of stone, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “knives of sharpened stone” or “knives with blades made of stone”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
5:1 After news of Israel’s crossing of the Jordan River spread, all of southern Canaan was in a state of alert awaiting Israel’s expected invasion.
• With Israel’s impossible crossing of the Jordan, the Canaanites lost heart and were paralyzed with fear. They knew they faced the people of a God more powerful than any they worshiped.
