UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

(Occurrence 0) All the kings of the earth

(Some words not found in UHB: and=all/each/any/every kings the=earth/land sought DOM face/surface_of Shəlmoh to,hear DOM wisdom,his which/who he/it_gave the=ʼElohīm in/on/at/with,heart,his )

The word “all” here is a generalization. Alternate translation: “Kings from around the world”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) sought the presence of Solomon

(Some words not found in UHB: and=all/each/any/every kings the=earth/land sought DOM face/surface_of Shəlmoh to,hear DOM wisdom,his which/who he/it_gave the=ʼElohīm in/on/at/with,heart,his )

The heart is a metonym for what a person thinks, and here it is spoken of as if it were a container. Here, wisdom is a metonym for the wise things a person thinks or says. If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word wisdom, you can express the same idea with a verbal form. Alternate translation: “to hear how wise God had enabled him to be” or “to hear him speak the wise words that God had enabled him to speak”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) which God had put in his heart

God putting wisdom in Solomon’s heart represents God making Solomon wise. Alternate translation: “which God had given him” or “because God had made him wise”
