OET (OET-RV) That happened because they didn’t obey their god Yahweh, but instead they broke the agreement with him—everything that Yahweh’s servant Mosheh had commanded. They didn’t take notice of it and they didn’t obey it.

Here the word For introduces not a reason but an explanation. The author does not mean that the king of Assyria did the things he described in the previous verse because of the things he describes in this verse. He is explaining that the things in the previous verse happened because of the things in this verse. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. The UST models one way to do that.

Since, in this context, the term listen means “obey,” these two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [and they did not obey him at all]

OET (OET-RV) That happened because they didn’t obey their god Yahweh, but instead they broke the agreement with him—everything that Yahweh’s servant Mosheh had commanded. They didn’t take notice of it and they didn’t obey it.
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.
