Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
חַ֛יִל סוֹבֵ֥ב אֶת־הָעִ֖יר וְס֣וּס וָרָ֑כֶב
army surrounding DOM the=city and,horse[s] and,chariotry
If it would be more natural in your language, you may want to put the information about the horse and chariot with the information about the army. Alternate translation: [an army with horses and chariots was surrounding the city]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
וְס֣וּס וָרָ֑כֶב
and,horse[s] and,chariotry
The author is not referring to a specific horse or chariot. He means the horses and chariots of the Aramean army in general. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an expression that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [with horses and chariots]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations
אֲהָ֥הּ
oh
See how you translated the similar expression in [6:5](../06/05.md).
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
אֵיכָ֥ה נַֽעֲשֶֽׂה
what (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_rose_early attendant_of (a)_man the=ʼElohīm to,arise and=he/it_went_out and=see/lo/see! army surrounding DOM the=city and,horse[s] and,chariotry and=he/it_said servant_of,his to=him/it oh my=master what do )
The servant 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 this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [There is nothing we can do!]

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.
