Hiram

Years: 1011 BC – 1011 BC

The “master workman” whom Hiram sent to Solomon. He was the son of a widow of Dan, and of a Tyrian father. In [2 Chr. 2:13](/2chr#2Chr.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](/1kgs#1Kgs.7.14); [2 Chr. 4:16](/2chr#2Chr.4.16).) He cast the magnificent brazen works for Solomon’s temple in clay-beds in the valley of Jordan, between Succoth and Zarthan.
