TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

4:1–5:31 The account of Deborah and Barak, given in both prose (ch 4) and poetry (ch 5), is the only large-scale military operation recorded against a major Canaanite foe after the initial conquest. Another king named Jabin, who also ruled in the city of Hazor, was defeated in an earlier battle against Joshua along with a vast northern coalition, and Hazor was burned (see Josh 11:1-15). Although Joshua 11 and Judges 4–5 have often been compared, there are too many differing details to consider them to be parallel records of the same battle. Instead, Jabin is probably a dynastic name; the name occurs in the Mari texts for an even earlier king of Hazor, around 1800 BC.

4:1 The opening of ch 4 provides chronological continuity with Ehud and reinforces the cyclical nature of Israel’s experience during this period.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל

sons_of Yisrael

See the discussion of this phrase in the General Introduction to Judges. Alternate translation: “the Israelites”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

הָ⁠רַ֖ע בְּ⁠עֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה

the,evil in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH

See how you translated the same expression in 2:11. Alternate translation: “what was evil in Yahweh’s judgment”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

וְ⁠אֵה֖וּד מֵֽת

and,Ehud died

Since readers already have information about Ehud, and since what happened after his death is new information, it may be more natural in your language to put the phrase after Ehud died at the beginning of this verse.
