more cedar trees than could be counted
This is an exaggeration to show that there was a very large number of cedar trees. This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "so many cedar trees that no one could count them" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole)
The Sidonians and the Tyrians brought too many cedar logs to David to count
This is background information to explain who provided so many logs. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-background)
