The author assumes that readers will know that, in this context, beyond the River refers to the territory on the Israelite side of the Euphrates River, that is, west of that river. You could indicate that explicitly if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [on this side of the Euphrates River] or [west of the Euphrates River]

The author is using the possessive form to describe kings who ruled over the territory that was beyond the river. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the kings whose territory was]

The phrases from all his sides and from all around mean similar things. The author is using the two phrases together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [And peace completely surrounded him] or [And his kingdom was completely surrounded by peaceful conditions]
