וַאֲבִימֶ֗לֶךְ
and,Abimelech
In this verse, the author provides fuller details about how Abimelek and his soldiers killed the people of Shechem who had gone out into the fields, as he described briefly at the end of the previous verse. The ULT indicates this with the word For. Your language may have a connecting word or phrase that you can use in your translation to indicate that this verse is providing fuller details about what the author has just said. Alternate translation: “They were able to do this because”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיַּ֣עַמְד֔וּ
and,stood
The context indicates that the pronoun they refers Abimelek and the soldiers who were with him in one of the three companies into which he had divided his army. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “And Abimelek and the men who were with him in one company stood”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
פֶּ֖תַח שַׁ֣עַר הָעִ֑יר
entrance gate the=city
The author means implicitly that Abimelek and one group of soldiers went to the gate of the city to keep anyone who was in the fields from getting back into the city for safety. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “at the entrance of the gate of the city to keep anyone from getting back into the city for safety”
