BrLXX ἦλθον αὐτῶν. Βασιλεῖς παρετάξαντο, τότε ἐπολέμησαν βασιλεῖς Χαναὰν ἐν Θαναὰχ ἐπὶ ὕδατι Μαγεδδὼ, δῶρον ἀργυρίου οὐκ ἔλαβον.

5:19 Taanach was southeast of the great administrative center of Megiddo, so the battle took place in the lower part of the Jezreel Valley. The references to Taanach and Megiddo are probably poetic allusions to well-known places in the Jezreel Valley, rather than exact locations of any fighting, which appears to have taken place between Mount Tabor and the lowlands around the Kishon River.

בָּ֤אוּ מְלָכִים֙ נִלְחָ֔מוּ אָ֤ז נִלְחֲמוּ֙ מַלְכֵ֣י כְנַ֔עַן
they_went kings fought then fought kings Kinaˊan
Chapter 4 describes only Jabin oppressing the Israelites and only his army attacking Barak and his forces. However, it also describes Jabin as the “king of Canaan” (4:2), suggesting that other Canaanite kings were his subjects or allies. The song may be referring to such kings implicitly here. Alternate translation: “Then the armies of Jabin and his Canaanite allies came and fought”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
בָּ֤אוּ מְלָכִים֙ & מַלְכֵ֣י כְנַ֔עַן
they_went kings & kings Kinaˊan
The song is using these Kings to mean them and their armies. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Kings came with their armies … the armies of the kings of Canaan”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
נִלְחָ֔מוּ & נִלְחֲמוּ֙ מַלְכֵ֣י כְנַ֔עַן
fought & fought kings Kinaˊan
The song is leaving some information implicit that it assumes readers will understand. The meaning is not that these kings fought with each other, but that they fought against the Israelites. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “they fought against us Israelites … the kings of Canaan fought against us”
Note 4 topic: translate-names
בְּתַעְנַ֖ךְ & מְגִדּ֑וֹ
in/on/at/with,Taanach & Məgiddōn
See how you translated the names of the cities of Taanach and Megiddo in 1:27.
Note 5 topic: translate-metonymy
מֵ֣י מְגִדּ֑וֹ
waters Məgiddōn
Here the song is referring to the Kishon River as the waters of Megiddo by association with the fact that the river flows past the city of Megiddo, or with the fact that the river flows through the plain of Megiddo, also known as the valley of Jezreel, where the battle against Sisera was fought. You could use the name Kishon River here if that would help your readers to recognize that the song is describing the same waters as in 5:21. Alternate translation: “the Kishon River”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
בֶּ֥צַע כֶּ֖סֶף לֹ֥א לָקָֽחוּ
plunder silver not got
The song is using silver, one thing that armies might take as plunder, to mean plunder of all kinds. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “But they did not take any plunder”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בֶּ֥צַע כֶּ֖סֶף לֹ֥א לָקָֽחוּ
plunder silver not got
The song is using taking plunder to mean winning the battle, by association with the way that victorious armies take plunder. Alternate translation: “But they did not win the battle”
