Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

and,Yahweh he/it_gave wisdom (Some words not found in UHB: and,Yahweh he/it_gave wisdom to,Solomon just=as he/it_had_said to=him/it and=he/it_was peace between Ḩīrām and=between Shəlomoh/(Solomon) and,they_made treaty the_two_of,of_them )
If it would be more natural in your language, you may want to put the information about Yahweh giving wisdom to Solomon last in this verse, since it seems to apply to the description in the following verses of how Solomon administered this project. Alternate translation: [And peace was between Hiram and between Solomon, and the two of them cut a covenant. And Yahweh gave wisdom to Solomon, just as he had spoken to him.]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / events
וַיְהִ֣י שָׁלֹ֗ם בֵּ֤ין חִירָם֙ וּבֵ֣ין שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה וַיִּכְרְת֥וּ בְרִ֖ית שְׁנֵיהֶֽם

The author is describing one event, peace being between Hiram and Solomon, before describing another event that preceded it, the two of them making a covenant. If it would be helpful your language, you may wish to relate these events in the order in which they happened, as in the UST. Alternate translation: [And Hiram and Solomon cut a covenant, and peace was between the two of them]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַיִּכְרְת֥וּ בְרִ֖ית שְׁנֵיהֶֽם
(Some words not found in UHB: and,Yahweh he/it_gave wisdom to,Solomon just=as he/it_had_said to=him/it and=he/it_was peace between Ḩīrām and=between Shəlomoh/(Solomon) and,they_made treaty the_two_of,of_them )
The author is using cut a covenant as a common expression of his culture to mean “made a covenant.” 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. If you have already translated the book of 1 Samuel, see how you translated the similar expression in 1 Samuel 11:1. Alternate translation: [and the two of them made a covenant] or [and Hiram and Solomon made a covenant]
