uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

וּ⁠שְׁלֹמֹה֩ נָתַ֨ן לְ⁠חִירָ֜ם עֶשְׂרִים֩ אֶ֨לֶף כֹּ֤ר חִטִּים֙ מַכֹּ֣לֶת לְ⁠בֵית֔⁠וֹ וְ⁠עֶשְׂרִ֥ים כֹּ֖ר שֶׁ֣מֶן כָּתִ֑ית

(Some words not found in UHB: and,Solomon he/it_gave to,Hiram twenty thousand cors_of wheat food for,household_of,his and=twenty cors_of oil beaten this he/it_gave Shəlomoh/(Solomon) to,Hiram year in=year )

If it would be more natural in your language, you may want to put the information about the oil together with the information about the wheat. Alternate translation: [And Solomon gave to Hiram 20,000 cors of wheat and 20 cors of beaten oil as food for his house]

Note 2 topic: translate-bvolume

עֶשְׂרִים֩ אֶ֨לֶף כֹּ֤ר חִטִּים֙ & וְ⁠עֶשְׂרִ֥ים כֹּ֖ר שֶׁ֣מֶן כָּתִ֑ית

(Some words not found in UHB: and,Solomon he/it_gave to,Hiram twenty thousand cors_of wheat food for,household_of,his and=twenty cors_of oil beaten this he/it_gave Shəlomoh/(Solomon) to,Hiram year in=year )

Each of these cors was equivalent to 220 liters or nearly 60 gallons. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express this in terms of modern measurements, either in the text or in a footnote. The UST models one way to do that.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לְ⁠בֵית֔⁠וֹ

for,household_of,his

Here the author is using the term house to represent the people who lived and worked in Hiram’s royal palace. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [for his royal household]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

שָׁנָ֥ה בְ⁠שָׁנָֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,Solomon he/it_gave to,Hiram twenty thousand cors_of wheat food for,household_of,his and=twenty cors_of oil beaten this he/it_gave Shəlomoh/(Solomon) to,Hiram year in=year )

The author is using year by year as a common expression of his culture to mean “every year” or “each year.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [from year to year] or [every year]
