וְהָאוֹרֵ֡ב קָם֩ מְהֵרָ֨ה מִמְּקוֹמ֤וֹ וַיָּר֨וּצוּ֙
and,the,in_the_ambush rose quickly (Some words not found in UHB: and,the,in_the_ambush rose quickly from,place,their and,ran as_soon_as,stretched_out his/its=hand and=they_came the=city and,captured,it and,quickly and,setting_~_ablaze DOM the=city in/on/at/with,fire )
The word ambush is a singular noun that refers to a group of people acting together. That is why the pronoun they is plural. If your language does not use singular nouns in this way, you could describe this ambush as a group. Alternate translation: “And the Israelite soldiers who were hiding themselves rose quickly from their place, and they ran”

וַֽיְמַהֲר֔וּ וַיַּצִּ֥יתוּ
and,quickly and,setting_~_ablaze
This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word hurried tells in what way the soldiers from the ambush burned the city. Alternate translation: “and they hurriedly burned”

וַיַּצִּ֥יתוּ אֶת־ הָעִ֖יר בָּאֵֽשׁ
and,setting_~_ablaze DOM the=city in/on/at/with,fire
See how you translated the same expression in 8:8. Alternate translation: “and they set the city on fire”
8:18-19 Israel succeeded in this second attack on Ai because this time God directed the battle.
