OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_was just_as_heard DOM the_message the_this and_he was_drinking he and_the_kings in_booths and_he/it_said to servants_of_his set_yourselves and_they_set_themselves on the_city.
OET (OET-RV) Ben-Hadad received that message while he was in the huts drinking with the other kings, and he immediately ordered his men to get into position so they got ready to attack the city.

אֶת־הַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֔ה
DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was just,as_heard DOM the,word the=this and=he drinking he/it and,the,kings in,booths and=he/it_said to/towards servants_of,his take_~_positions and,they_set_themselves on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=city )
Here, this word represents what Ahab had the messengers tell Ben Hadad said by using words. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [this reply]
Note 2 topic: writing-background
וְה֥וּא שֹׁתֶ֛ה ה֥וּא וְהַמְּלָכִ֖ים בַּסֻּכּ֑וֹת
and=he (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was just,as_heard DOM the,word the=this and=he drinking he/it and,the,kings in,booths and=he/it_said to/towards servants_of,his take_~_positions and,they_set_themselves on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=city )
The author is providing background information to help readers understand what happens next in the story. Ben Hadad’s overconfidence and complacency help lead to his defeat in this battle. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
שִׂ֔ימוּ וַיָּשִׂ֖ימוּ עַל־הָעִֽיר
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was just,as_heard DOM the,word the=this and=he drinking he/it and,the,kings in,booths and=he/it_said to/towards servants_of,his take_~_positions and,they_set_themselves on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=city )
Ben Hadad is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [“Set yourselves in array!” And they set themselves in array against the city] or [“Form battle lines!” And they formed battle lines against the city]
OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_was just_as_heard DOM the_message the_this and_he was_drinking he and_the_kings in_booths and_he/it_said to servants_of_his set_yourselves and_they_set_themselves on the_city.
OET (OET-RV) Ben-Hadad received that message while he was in the huts drinking with the other kings, and he immediately ordered his men to get into position so they got ready to attack the city.
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.
