UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

QUOTE_NOT_FOUND: They {are} being beaten

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said sons_of Binyāmīn defeating they before,face/front,us as,in/on/at/with,first and=the_sons Yisrael said flee and,draw_~_away,them from/more_than the=city to/towards the,highways )

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [We are beating them]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

QUOTE_NOT_FOUND: at the first

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said sons_of Binyāmīn defeating they before,face/front,us as,in/on/at/with,first and=the_sons Yisrael said flee and,draw_~_away,them from/more_than the=city to/towards the,highways )

The author is using the adjective first as a noun to mean the first battle. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [in the first battle]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

QUOTE_NOT_FOUND: let us draw him

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said sons_of Binyāmīn defeating they before,face/front,us as,in/on/at/with,first and=the_sons Yisrael said flee and,draw_~_away,them from/more_than the=city to/towards the,highways )

The pronoun him refers to the army of Benjamin. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [let us draw their army]
