Here "hand" refers to power to defeat. AT: "into the power of their enemies" or "so their enemies could defeat them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
# met each other face to face
This idiom means they were both at the battle in person, rather than only sending other people to fight. See how you translated a similar phrase in [2 Chronicles 25:17](./17.md). AT: "met each other in person" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])

The city of Beth Shemesh was located in Judah.
# Judah was struck down before Israel

AT: "The soldiers of Israel defeated the soldiers of Judah" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
