Hiram
   high-born. (1.) Generally "Huram," one of the sons of Bela (1
   Chr. 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 Sam. 5:11; 1 Chr. 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 Chr. 2:3). He also took part in Solomon's traffic to the
   Eastern Seas (1 Kings 9:27; 10:11; 2 Chr. 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 Chr.
   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 Chr. 4:16.) He
   cast the magnificent brazen works for Solomon's temple in
   clay-beds in the valley of Jordan, between Succoth and Zarthan.
