The author assumes that readers will know that the eighth day refers to the day after the seven-day Feast of Booths ended. You could say that explicitly if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [On the day after the Feast of Booths ended]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

לְ⁠אָהֳלֵי⁠הֶ֗ם

The author is using one kind of home in which people of this culture lived, tents, to represent homes in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to their homes]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Some words not found in UHB: in_the=day (the),eighth sent_~_away DOM the,people and,they_blessed DOM the=king and,they_went to,tents_of,their joyful and=good_of heart on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in all/each/any/every the,good which/who he/it_had_made YHWH to,David servant_of,his and,to,Israel people_of,his )
