It might seem that the expression burned it with fire contains extra information that would not be natural to express in your language. If so, you could shorten it. Alternate translation: [and he had burned it down]

The author is not referring to a specific Canaanite. He means all of the Canaanites who lived in Gezer. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an expression that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [the Canaanites who lived in that city]

שִׁלֻּחִ֔ים לְ⁠בִתּ֖⁠וֹ אֵ֥שֶׁת שְׁלֹמֹֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: Parˊoh king Miʦrayim/(Egypt) gone_up and,he_had_captured DOM Gezer and,he,had_burned_it with,fire and=DOM the,Canaanite[s] [who,was]_dwelling in,city killed and,he,had_given_it dowry to,daughter_of,his wife_of Shəlomoh/(Solomon)'s )

A dowry is a payment or transfer of money, property, or valuable goods by a woman’s family to her new husband or his family at the time of their marriage. Typically in the biblical culture, a man would instead pay a bride-price to the woman’s family. But some men, especially rulers such as Pharaoh, gave property or territory to their daughters when they were married. If your readers would not be familiar with what a dowry is, you could explain it in your translation with a general term or a descriptive phrase. Alternate translation: [as a gift to his daughter on the occasion of her marriage to Solomon]
