the,border the,overlooking on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in valley_of Tsəⱱoˊīm/(Zeboim)
The author is speaking of this border as if it were a living thing that could look down from a height. He is using this image to mean that this border was on higher ground than the valley below. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the border above the valley of Zeboyim]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

the,border the,overlooking on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in valley_of Tsəⱱoˊīm/(Zeboim)
Here the word border could mean: (1) “territory,” by association. Alternate translation: [the territory above the valley of Zeboyim] (2) some specific border, most likely the one between the territories of Judah and Benjamin. Alternate translation: [the border between Judah and Benjamin, which runs along the crest of the valley of Zeboyim]
13:17-18 Armies would send out raiding parties to plunder and sow panic among the enemy. These raiders embarked north (Ophrah), west (Beth-horon), and east (Zeboim), but not south, where Israelite strength was consolidated and where the terrain did not allow easy movement of forces (see study note on 13:23).

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.
