אַיֵּה֩ אֱלֹהֵ֨י חֲמָ֜ת וְאַרְפָּ֗ד אַיֵּ֛ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י סְפַרְוַ֖יִם הֵנַ֣ע וְעִוָּ֑ה כִּֽי־הִצִּ֥ילוּ אֶת־שֹׁמְר֖וֹן מִיָּדִֽי
(Some words not found in UHB: where gods_of Ḩₐmāt and,Arpad where gods_of Şəfarvayim Hēnaˊ and,Ivvah that/for/because/then/when delivered DOM Shomrōn from,hand_of,my )
The king of Assyria is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate these questions as statements or as exclamations. Alternate translation: [The gods of Hamath and Arpad did nothing to help those people! The gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah did nothing to help those people! Indeed, the gods of Samaria did not deliver it from my hand!]

אַיֵּה֩ אֱלֹהֵ֨י חֲמָ֜ת וְאַרְפָּ֗ד אַיֵּ֛ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י סְפַרְוַ֖יִם הֵנַ֣ע וְעִוָּ֑ה כִּֽי־הִצִּ֥ילוּ אֶת־שֹׁמְר֖וֹן מִיָּדִֽי
(Some words not found in UHB: where gods_of Ḩₐmāt and,Arpad where gods_of Şəfarvayim Hēnaˊ and,Ivvah that/for/because/then/when delivered DOM Shomrōn from,hand_of,my )
If you have decided to translate all of this long quotation in such a way that there will not be quotations within quotations, you can continue doing that in this verse. Alternate translation: [The king points out that the gods of Hamath and Arpad did nothing to help those people, and the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah did nothing to help those people, and in fact the gods of Samaria did not deliver it from his hand]

הִצִּ֥ילוּ אֶת־שֹׁמְר֖וֹן
(Some words not found in UHB: where gods_of Ḩₐmāt and,Arpad where gods_of Şəfarvayim Hēnaˊ and,Ivvah that/for/because/then/when delivered DOM Shomrōn from,hand_of,my )
The pronoun they does not refer to the gods that the king has just listed. It refers generally back to “the gods of the nations” in the previous verse and specifically to the gods that the people of the kingdom of Israel, called Samaria here, were worshiping. Alternate translation: [did the gods of Samaria deliver 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.
