OET (OET-LV) And_he_reported the_watchman to_say he_came to to_them and_not he_has_turned_back and_the_driving is_like_the_driving_of Yēhūʼ the_son_of Nimshiy if/because with_madness he_drives.
OET (OET-RV) Then the watchman declared, “He also met with them but didn’t return. The leader is riding like Nimshi’s son Yehu, because he’s riding like crazy.”

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_reported the,watchman to=say he/it_came until to,them and=not coming_back and,the,driving [is]_like,the_driving_of Yēhūʼ/(Jehu) son_of Nimshiy that/for/because/then/when with,madness drives )
The watchman assumes that the king will understand that by the driving, he means the driving of the person to whom the two messengers spoke. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and the driving of the person to whom the two messengers spoke]

Here the word For introduces not a reason but an explanation. Alternate translation: [I say that because]

The watchman is saying with madness as an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [furiously]

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.
