The pronoun they refers to Joab and his soldiers. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [And Joab and his soldiers came]

A rampart is a kind of defensive wall or fortification around a city, specifically in this context an outer wall of a city that also has an inner wall. If your readers would not be familiar with what a rampart is, you could use the name of a similar thing that your readers would recognize, or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [against the outer wall]

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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
