Hiram: High-born.

1. Generally "Huram," one of the sons of Bela (1 Chronicles 8:5)

2. Also "Huram" and "Horam," king of Tyre. He entered into an alliance with David, and assisted him in building his palace by sending him able workmen, and also cedar-trees and fir-trees from Lebanon (2 Samuel 5:11; 1 Chronicles 14:1) After the death of David he entered into a similar alliance with Solomon, and assisted him greatly in building the temple (1 Kings 5:1; 9:11; 2 Chronicles 2:3) He also took part in Solomon's traffic to the Eastern Seas

(1 Kings 9:27; 10:11; 2 Chronicles 8:18; 9:10)

3. The "master workman" whom Hiram sent to Solomon. He was the son of a widow of Dan, and of a Tyrian father. In (2 Chronicles 2:13) "Huram my father" should be Huram Abi, the word "Abi" (rendered here "my father") being regarded as a proper name, or it may perhaps be a title of distinction given to Huram, and equivalent to "master." (Comp.) (1 Kings 7:14; 2 Chronicles 4:16) He cast the magnificent brazen works for Solomon's temple in clay-beds in the valley of Jordan, between Succoth and Zarthan.
