Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
אֶל־הִלָּקַח֙ אֲר֣וֹן הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים
to/towards captured ark_of the=ʼElohīm
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: [that the Philistines had taken the Box of God]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
וּמֵ֥ת חָמִ֖יהָ וְאִישָׁ֑הּ
and,dead father-in-law_of,her and,husband_of,her

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
נֶהֶפְכ֥וּ עָלֶ֖יהָ צִרֶֽיהָ
