and=he/it_was
The author is using the phrase And it happened to introduce a new event in the story. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.

to,the_return_of (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was to,the_return_of of,the_year to,the_time_of go_out (the),kings and,he_sent Dāvid DOM Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and=DOM servants_of,his with=him/it and=DOM all/each/any/every Yisrael and,they_destroyed DOM sons_of ˊAmmōn and,they_laid_siege on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in enough/great(fs) and,David remained in,Jerusalem )
Here, at the return of the year was a common expression that referred to the beginning of a new year. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: [at the start of the next year]

to,the_return_of (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was to,the_return_of of,the_year to,the_time_of go_out (the),kings and,he_sent Dāvid DOM Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and=DOM servants_of,his with=him/it and=DOM all/each/any/every Yisrael and,they_destroyed DOM sons_of ˊAmmōn and,they_laid_siege on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in enough/great(fs) and,David remained in,Jerusalem )
The people in this culture considered that a new year began in the spring, when they could once again start the cycle of planting and harvesting crops. You could indicate this in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [in the spring]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
לְעֵ֣ת ׀ צֵ֣את הַמַּלְאֿכִ֗ים
to,the_time_of go_out (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was to,the_return_of of,the_year to,the_time_of go_out (the),kings and,he_sent Dāvid DOM Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and=DOM servants_of,his with=him/it and=DOM all/each/any/every Yisrael and,they_destroyed DOM sons_of ˊAmmōn and,they_laid_siege on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in enough/great(fs) and,David remained in,Jerusalem )
The author says going out as a common expression that meant “going to war.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar expression in [3:25](../03/25.md). Alternate translation: [in the season when kings go to war]

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.
