uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

לְ⁠בַד֙ מֵ⁠אַנְשֵׁ֣י הַ⁠תָּרִ֔ים

apart,besides (Some words not found in UHB: apart,besides from,the_men_of of,the_merchants and,the_merchandise_of of,the_traders and=all kings_of of,the_Arab[s] and,the_governors_of the=earth/land )

The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. See the discussion of the sources of Solomon’s wealth in the introduction to this chapter. Alternate translation: [apart from the gold he received through taxes, duties, and tolls from the men of the searchers]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

מֵ⁠אַנְשֵׁ֣י הַ⁠תָּרִ֔ים

(Some words not found in UHB: apart,besides from,the_men_of of,the_merchants and,the_merchandise_of of,the_traders and=all kings_of of,the_Arab[s] and,the_governors_of the=earth/land )

The author is using this possessive form to mean men who searched or men whose job it was to search. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [from the men who were searchers]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מֵ⁠אַנְשֵׁ֣י הַ⁠תָּרִ֔ים

(Some words not found in UHB: apart,besides from,the_men_of of,the_merchants and,the_merchandise_of of,the_traders and=all kings_of of,the_Arab[s] and,the_governors_of the=earth/land )

See the discussion in the introduction to this chapter of the group of people that this phrase describes and of the other groups that the author mentions here. Alternate translation: [from men who traveled in search of goods]

Note 4 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

וְ⁠כָל־מַלְכֵ֥י הָ⁠עֶ֖רֶב

and=all kings_of of,the_Arab[s]

In this verse, the word Arab is singular in form, but it refers to all of the Arabian people groups that often gave gifts to Solomon. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that would indicate this. Alternate translation: [and all of the kings of the Arabs] or [and all of the Arabian kings]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

וְ⁠כָל־מַלְכֵ֥י הָ⁠עֶ֖רֶב

and=all kings_of of,the_Arab[s]

The author says all of the kings of the Arab as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: [and kings throughout Arabia]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ⁠פַח֥וֹת הָ⁠אָֽרֶץ

and,the_governors_of the=earth/land

The word translated as governors seems to refer to the same officials whom the author calls “deputies” in chapter 4. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use the same term here that you used there. Alternate translation: [and the deputies who governed the land]
