Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / events
וַיַּצִּילֶ֔הָ וַיַּ֖ךְ אֶת־פְּלִשְׁתִּ֑ים
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_took_his_stand in_the=middle of,the_portion and,he,delivered_it and,he_struck_down DOM Pelishtim and=he/it_made YHWH victory great )
The author is describing one event before describing another event that preceded it. If it would be helpful your language, you may wish to relate these events in the order in which they happened. Alternate translation: [and he struck the Philistines, and he delivered it]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_took_his_stand in_the=middle of,the_portion and,he,delivered_it and,he_struck_down DOM Pelishtim and=he/it_made YHWH victory great )
By struck, the author means in this context that he killed Philistine soldiers in battle. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. See the discussion of the term “struck” in the Introduction to 2 Samuel. Alternate translation: [and he killed the Philistines]
OET-LV And_he_took_his_stand in_the_middle of_the_portion and_he_delivered_it and_he_struck_down DOM the_Pəlishtiy and_ YHWH _he/it_made a_victory great.

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.
