Who is Hiram?
HI'RAM

Under his reign the city of Tyre became celebrated for its wealth and magnificence, and the vast supplies he furnished to the kings of Israel show the greatness of his resources. He aided David with materials for a palace, 2 Sam 5:11; 1 Chr 14:1, and Solomon in the construction of the temple, 1 Kgs 5:1-12; 1 Kgs 9:11-14, furnishing workmen as well as materials. He also allowed Solomon to send ships with the Tyrian ships under Tyrian management. 1 Kgs 9:26-28; 1 Kgs 10:11-28. 2. An eminent artificer of Tyre who was employed by Solomon on some of the most difficult of the fixtures and furniture of the temple, 1 Kgs 7:13.
