Now we will return again to the Amlicites, for they also had a mark set upon them; yea, they set the mark upon themselves, yea, even a mark of red upon their foreheads.

Revelation 20:4 (KJV)
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Simple English

Now we will go back to talking about the Amlicites. They also had a mark put on them. They put the mark on themselves. It was a red mark on their foreheads.

Paraphrase

Now back to the Amlicites. They also had a mark on them—but they put it there themselves. They chose to paint red marks on their foreheads.
