He was the king of Tyre, a prominent city-state in ancient Phoenicia, renowned for its skilled artisans and abundant resources. Hiram's relationship with Israel is marked by diplomacy, trade, and mutual respect, contributing to the prosperity and architectural achievements of the Israelite kingdom. Biblical References: Hiram is mentioned in several books of the Bible, including 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 1 Chronicles, and 2 Chronicles. His contributions are particularly highlighted in the context of the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem. 1. Hiram and King David: Hiram's relationship with Israel began during the reign of King David. In <a href="/2_samuel/5-11.htm">2 Samuel 5:11</a> , it is recorded, "Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs, carpenters, and stonemasons, and they built a palace for David." This passage illustrates Hiram's willingness to support David, recognizing his kingship and establishing a diplomatic alliance. 2. Hiram and King Solomon: Hiram's most notable biblical role is his collaboration with King Solomon in the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem. <a href="/1_kings/5.htm">1 Kings 5:1-12</a> details the agreement between Hiram and Solomon, where Hiram provided cedar and cypress timber, as well as skilled laborers. In return, Solomon supplied Hiram with wheat and olive oil. This partnership is further elaborated in <a href="/2_chronicles/2-3.htm">2 Chronicles 2:3-16</a> , where Solomon acknowledges Hiram's expertise and resources, essential for the temple's construction. 3. Hiram's Craftsmanship: Hiram's artisanship is exemplified through the work of another Hiram, often referred to as "Hiram Abiff" in Masonic tradition, who was a skilled craftsman sent by King Hiram to assist Solomon. <a href="/1_kings/7-13.htm">1 Kings 7:13-14</a> states, "Now King Solomon sent to bring Huram from Tyre. He was a widow’s son from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a craftsman in bronze. Huram was filled with wisdom, understanding, and skill for any work in bronze. So he came to King Solomon and performed all his work." This craftsman was instrumental in creating the temple's bronze furnishings, including the two pillars, Jachin and Boaz. Historical and Cultural Context: Hiram's kingdom, Tyre, was a major Phoenician city known for its maritime trade and advanced craftsmanship. The Phoenicians were renowned for their skills in shipbuilding, navigation, and the production of purple dye, which was highly valued in the ancient world. Hiram's alliance with Israel reflects the interconnectedness of ancient Near Eastern cultures and the importance of trade and diplomacy in maintaining peaceful relations. Theological Significance: Hiram's cooperation with Israel underscores the biblical theme of God's provision and the fulfillment of His promises. The construction of the Temple, facilitated by Hiram's resources and expertise, represents a significant moment in Israel's history, symbolizing God's dwelling among His people. Hiram's role highlights the use of Gentile resources and skills in the service of God's purposes, demonstrating the inclusivity of God's plan and the potential for harmonious relationships between different nations. Conclusion: Hiram's legacy in the biblical narrative is one of collaboration, craftsmanship, and the fostering of peaceful relations between Israel and its neighbors. His contributions to the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem remain a testament to the importance of skilled labor and international cooperation in achieving monumental tasks.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div>Hiramexaltation of life; a destroyer<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>High-born. (1.) Generally "Huram," one of the sons of Bela (<a href="/1_chronicles/8-5.htm">1 Chronicles 8:5</a>).(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 (<a href="/2_samuel/5-11.htm">2 Samuel 5:11</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/14-1.htm">1 Chronicles 14:1</a>). After the death of David he entered into a similar alliance with Solomon, and assisted him greatly in building the temple (<a href="/1_kings/5-1.htm">1 Kings 5:1</a>; <a href="/1_kings/9-11.htm">9:11</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/2-3.htm">2 Chronicles 2:3</a>). He also took part in Solomon's traffic to the Eastern Seas (<a href="/1_kings/9-27.htm">1 Kings 9:27</a>; <a href="/1_kings/10-11.htm">10:11</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/8-18.htm">2 Chronicles 8:18</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/9-10.htm">9:10</a>).(3.) The "master workman" whom Hiram sent to Solomon. He was the son of a widow of Dan, and of a Tyrian father. In <a href="/2_chronicles/2-13.htm">2 Chronicles 2:13</a> "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. <a href="/1_kings/7-14.htm">1 Kings 7:14</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/4-16.htm">2 Chronicles 4:16.</a>) He cast the magnificent brazen works for Solomon's temple in clay-beds in the valley of Jordan, between Succoth and Zarthan. <a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div>HIRAMhi'-ram (chiram; Septuagint Chiram, but Cheiram, in <a href="/2_samuel/5-11.htm">2 Samuel 5:11</a> <a href="/1_chronicles/14-1.htm">1 Chronicles 14:1</a>): There is some confusion regarding the form of this name. In the books of Samuel and Kings the prevailing form is "Hiram" (chiram); but in <a href="/1_kings/5-10.htm">1 Kings 5:10, 18</a> margin (Hebrew 24, 32); 7:40 margin "Hirom" (chirom) is found. In Chronicles the form of the word is uniformly "Huram" (churam). (1) A king of Tyre who lived on most friendly terms with both David and Solomon. After David had taken the stronghold of Zion, Hiram sent messengers and workmen and materials to build a palace for him at Jerusalem (<a href="/2_samuel/5-11.htm">2 Samuel 5:11</a> <a href="/1_chronicles/14-1.htm">1 Chronicles 14:1</a>). Solomon, on his accession to the throne, made a league with Hiram, in consequence of which Hiram furnished the new king of Israel with skilled workmen and with cedar trees and fir trees and algum trees from Lebanon for the building of the Temple. In return Solomon gave annually to Hiram large quantities of wheat and oil (<a href="/1_kings/5-1.htm">1 Kings 5:1</a> (Hebrew 15)ff; <a href="/2_chronicles/2-3.htm">2 Chronicles 2:3</a> (Hebrew 2)ff). "At the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the two houses, the house of Yahweh and the king's house," Solomon made a present to Hiram of twenty cities in the land of Galilee. Hiram was not at all pleased with these cities and contemptuously called them "Cabul." His displeasure, however, with this gift does not seem to have disturbed the amicable relations that had hitherto existed between the two kings, for subsequently Hiram sent to the king of Israel 120 talents of gold (<a href="/1_kings/9-10.htm">1 Kings 9:10-14</a>). Hiram and Solomon maintained merchant vessels on the Mediterranean and shared mutually in a profitable trade with foreign ports (<a href="/1_kings/10-22.htm">1 Kings 10:22</a>). Hiram's servants, "shipmen that had knowledge of the sea," taught the sailors of Solomon the route from Ezion-geber and Eloth to Ophir, whence large stores of gold were brought to King Solomon (<a href="/1_kings/9-26.htm">1 Kings 9:26</a> <a href="/2_chronicles/8-17.htm">2 Chronicles 8:17 f</a>). Josephus (Apion, I, 17, 18) informs us, on the authority of the historians Dius and Menander, that Hiram was the son of Abibal, that he had a prosperous reign of 34 years, and died at the age of 53. He tells us on the same authority that Hiram and Solomon sent problems to each other to solve; that Hiram could not solve those sent him by Solomon, whereupon he paid to Solomon a large sum of money, as had at first been agreed upon. Finally, Abdemon, a man of Tyre, did solve the problems, and proposed others which Solomon was unable to explain; consequently Solomon was obliged to pay back to Hiram a vast sum of money. Josephus further states (Ant., VIII, ii, 8) that the correspondence carried on between Solomon and Hiram in regard to the building of the Temple was preserved, not only in the records of the Jews, but also in the public records of Tyre. It is also related by Phoenician historians that Hiram gave his daughter to Solomon in marriage. (2) The name of a skillful worker in brass and other substances, whom Solomon secured from Hiram king of Tyre to do work on the Temple. His father was a brass-worker of Tyre, and his mother was a woman of the tribe of Naphtali (<a href="/1_kings/7-14.htm">1 Kings 7:14</a>), "a woman of the daughters of Dan" (<a href="/2_chronicles/2-14/(Hebrew/13.htm">2 Chronicles 2:14 (Hebrew 13</a>); <a href="/1_kings/7-13.htm">1 Kings 7:13</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/2-13.htm">2 Chronicles 2:13</a> (Hebrew 12, 13)).
