Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
לְכָ֖ה
come,
Amaziah is not telling Jehoash to Come somewhere. He is saying Come to encourage him to take the action that he describes. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: [Come on]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
נִתְרָאֶ֥ה פָנִֽים
meet face
Amaziah is using let us see one another’s faces as a common expression of his culture to mean “let us fight a battle against each other.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly, as the UST does. Alternate translation: [let us meet face to face] or [let us fight a battle against each other]
