Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand by the sea
(Some words not found in UHB: Yehuda and,Israel numerous as_~_as_the,sand which/who on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=sea to=increase_in_number eating and,drinking and,rejoicing )
The speaker uses exaggeration to say that there were so many people that it would be impossible to count them all. The words “Judah” and “Israel” are metonyms for the people who lived in Judah and Israel. Alternate translation: “There were as many people in Judah and Israel as there are grains of sand by the sea” or “there were more people in Judah and Israel than a person could count” (See also: figs-metonymy)
4:20-21 God’s promise to Abraham (Gen 15:18-21; 17:8; 22:17) finds historical fulfillment in his blessing of Solomon. The surrounding lands conquered by David and Solomon (2 Chr 8:3) remained loyal to Solomon. They sent tribute money . . . and continued to serve him throughout his long reign.

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.
