The expression were born is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [were descendants of Rapha in Gath]

Here, hand represents the power and capability of David and his servants to defeat these enemies. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And they fell by the might of David and by the power of his servants]

בְ⁠יַד־דָּוִ֖ד וּ⁠בְ⁠יַ֥ד עֲבָדָֽי⁠ו

by,the_hand_of (Some words not found in UHB: DOM four_of these they_were_born to,the,Raphah in,Gath and,they_fell by,the_hand_of Dāvid and,by,the_hand_of his_servants_of,his )

The author is crediting David in part with these victories because he commanded the Israelite soldiers who won them. But he is then crediting the specific servants or soldiers who defeated these giant opponents. If the connection between the first part of this phrase and the second part is not clear, you may want to use a different connecting word or phrase to show how the parts relate to one another. Alternate translation: [by the hand of David, and specifically, by the hands of his servants]
