The author is reporting that Ishbosheth’s hands dropped in order to indicate that he lost his strength and courage. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and he became weak with fear]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠כָל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל

and=all (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_listened son_of Shāʼūl/(Saul)'s that/for/because/then/when died ʼAⱱnēr in,Hebron and,they_dropped hands_of,his and=all Yisrael dismayed )

See how you translated the similar expression in 2:28. Alternate translation: [and all the people of Israel]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

נִבְהָֽלוּ

dismayed

The expression was terrified 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: [became very afraid]
