OET (OET-LV) And_not I_believed in_the_reports until that I_came and_seen eyes_of_my_own and_see/lo/see not it_was_told to_me the_half you_have_added wisdom and_prosperity to the_report which I_heard.
OET (OET-RV) I hadn’t believed it until I got here and saw it with my own eyes, but then I find that what I heard is only half of how incredible it is. Your wisdom and your goodness is way more than what I’d heard described.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
my eyes have seen it
(Some words not found in UHB: and=not believe in_the,reports until which/who came and,seen eyes_of,my_own and=see/lo/see! not told to=me the,half surpass wisdom and,prosperity to/towards the,report which/who heard )
The phrase “my eyes” emphasizes that she herself saw it. Alternate translation: “I have seen it for myself”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
Not half was told me about your wisdom and wealth
(Some words not found in UHB: and=not believe in_the,reports until which/who came and,seen eyes_of,my_own and=see/lo/see! not told to=me the,half surpass wisdom and,prosperity to/towards the,report which/who heard )
This can be stated without the passive form. Alternate translation: “They did not tell me about even half of your wisdom and wealth” or “You are much more wise and wealthy than what they told me”
10:1-13 The queen of Sheba visited to test the accuracy of accounts concerning Solomon’s wisdom (10:1, 3, 6-7). She may also have sought commercial partnership (10:2, 10, 13). All of Solomon’s accomplishments resulted from his God-given wisdom, as the queen of Sheba testifies in the central speech of the narrative (10:6-9).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
