The heart is a metonym for what a person thinks, and here it is spoken of as if it were a container. Here, wisdom is a metonym for the wise things a person thinks or says. If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word wisdom, you can express the same idea with a verbal form. Alternate translation: “to hear how wise God had enabled him to be” or “to hear him speak the wise words that God had enabled him to speak”

God putting wisdom in Solomon’s heart represents God making Solomon wise. Alternate translation: “which God had given him” or “because God had made him wise”
