Hiram king of Tyre, Hiram I, Huram, Ahiram
Hiram king of Tyre was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze. He came to King Solomon and did his bronze work.
When David became king of all Israel, Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David and cedar trees and carpenters and masons who built David a house. (2 Samuel 5:11)
Hiram king of Tyre always loved David and sent his servants to Solomon when he heard they anointed him king in place of his father.
Solomon said that David was never able to build a house for the name of the LORD his God because of the warfare. Now, in times of peace, he can fulfill God's word that "Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, shall build the house for my name." Solomon wanted Hiram to command that cedars of Lebanon be cut for him. He offered for his servants to join Hiram's and to pay him for his servants such wages as he set, "for you know that there is no one among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians."
Hiram rejoiced greatly at Solomon's words. "Blessed be the LORD this day, who has given to David a wise son to be over this great people." He did all he desired in the matter of cedar and cypress timber, supplying Solomon with all the timber of cedar and cypress that he desired, while Solomon gave Hiram 20,000 cors of wheat as food for his household, and 20,000 cors of beaten oil.
There was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty.
