UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-kinship

אֶת־אֶחָ֧י⁠ו בְּנֵֽי־יְרֻבַּ֛עַל

DOM brothers,his sons_of Yərubaˊal/(Jerubbaal)

The author is specifying that these brothers were sons of Abimelek’s father Jerubbaal (Gideon) but not of his mother. Your language may have its own term or expression for this relationship. Alternate translation: “his paternal half-brothers”

Note 2 topic: translate-symaction

עַל־אֶ֣בֶן אֶחָ֑ת

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in stone one

It appears that killing all 70 of these men upon one stone was a symbolic action of some kind. See the General Notes to this chapter for a discussion of what the significance of this action might have been and for suggestions of how to represent that in your translation.

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וַ⁠יִּוָּתֵ֞ר יוֹתָ֧ם בֶּן־יְרֻבַּ֛עַל הַ⁠קָּטֹ֖ן כִּ֥י נֶחְבָּֽא

and,survived Yōtām/(Jotham) son_of Yərubaˊal/(Jerubbaal) the=small(sg) that/for/because/then/when hid

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “But Jotham, the youngest son of Jerubbaal, hid himself, and so he was left”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וַ⁠יִּוָּתֵ֞ר יוֹתָ֧ם

and,survived Yōtām/(Jotham)

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: “But Jotham survived”
