UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מִ⁠קְצֵה֙ שְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת יָמִ֔ים

at,end three days

See how you translated the similar expression in 1:11. Translate this in the way your own culture reckons time. Alternate translation: “a couple of days later”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וַֽ⁠יִּשְׁמְע֗וּ כִּי־ קְרֹבִ֥ים הֵם֙ אֵלָ֔י⁠ו וּ⁠בְ⁠קִרְבּ֖⁠וֹ הֵ֥ם יֹשְׁבִֽים

and=they_heard that/for/because/then/when neighbors they to=him/it and,in/on/at/with,near_to,them they living

The phrases they were near to them and they were dwelling among them mean basically the same thing. The author says the same thing twice, in slightly different ways, to emphasize that the Gibeonites lived close to the Israelites. If it would be clearer in your language, you could combine the phrases into one and show the emphasis in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “that they actually lived close to them!”
