OET (OET-LV) And_they_kept_silent the_people and_not they_answered DOM_him/it anything if/because was_the_command_of the_king it to_say not you(pl)_must_answer_him.
OET (OET-RV) But the people on the wall listening remained silent—they didn’t say a word because the king had already ordered them not to answer the Assyrians.

וְהֶחֱרִ֣ישׁוּ הָעָ֔ם וְלֹֽא־עָנ֥וּ אֹת֖וֹ דָּבָ֑ר כִּי־מִצְוַ֨ת הַמֶּ֥לֶךְ הִ֛יא לֵאמֹ֖ר לֹ֥א תַעֲנֻֽהוּ
and,they_kept_silent the,people and=not answered DOM=him/it (Some words not found in UHB: and,they_kept_silent the,people and=not answered DOM=him/it message that/for/because/then/when command_of the=king she/it to=say not you(pl),must_answer_him )
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [But since it was a commandment of the king, saying, “You shall not answer him,” the people were silent and did not answer him a word]

וְהֶחֱרִ֣ישׁוּ הָעָ֔ם וְלֹֽא־עָנ֥וּ אֹת֖וֹ דָּבָ֑ר
and,they_kept_silent the,people and=not answered DOM=him/it (Some words not found in UHB: and,they_kept_silent the,people and=not answered DOM=him/it message that/for/because/then/when command_of the=king she/it to=say not you(pl),must_answer_him )
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: [But the people said nothing in response to him]

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.
