saw
The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [saw the Israelites do this]

(Some words not found in UHB: and,five rulers_of Pəlishtiy saw and,they_went_back ˊEqrōn in_the=day (the)=that )
The author seems to mean that the lords of the Philistines had seen all they needed to see in order to be convinced that Yahweh had struck them with the plagues of mice and tumors for taking his sacred Box, and that was why they went back to their country on that day. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and having seen all they needed to see to be convinced that Yahweh had caused the plagues, they returned to Ekron without staying in Israel any longer]
OET-LV And_five the_rulers_of the_Pəlishtiy they_saw and_they_went_back ˊEqrōn in_the_day (the)_that.
OET (OET-RV) The five Pelishti rulers watched all this from a distance before returning to Ekron that same day.
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.
