The princes of Succoth are using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “The palm of Zebah and Zalmunna is not now in your hand, that we should give bread to your army!”

הֲ֠⁠כַף זֶ֧בַח וְ⁠צַלְמֻנָּ֛ע עַתָּ֖ה בְּ⁠יָדֶ֑⁠ךָ

?,hands Zeⱱaḩ and,Zalmunna already in/on/at/with,hand,your

The princes of Succoth are referring by association to Gideon and his men having captured Zebah and Zalmunna. While the source and meaning of this expression are not entirely clear, it seems to refer to the way captured prisoners would have their hands tied or chained by a rope or chain that one of their captors would hold in his hand to lead them. Alternate translation: “Have you already captured Zebah and Zalmunna”

הֲ֠⁠כַף

?,hands

Since princes of Succoth are referring to two people, it might be more natural in your language to use the dual or plural form of palm. Alternate translation: “Are the palms”
