Contextual Overview

11 Huram Abi made the pots, shovels, and bowls. He finished all the work on God's temple he had been assigned by King Solomon. 12 He made the two pillars, the two bowl-shaped tops of the pillars, the latticework for the bowl-shaped tops of the two pillars, 13 the four hundred pomegranate-shaped ornaments for the latticework of the two pillars (each latticework had two rows of these ornaments at the bowl-shaped top of the pillar), 14 the ten movable stands with their ten basins, 15 the big bronze basin called "The Sea" with its twelve bulls underneath, 16 and the pots, shovels, and meat forks. All the items King Solomon assigned Huram Abi to make for the Lord 's temple were made from polished bronze. 17 The king had them cast in earth foundries in the region of the Jordan between Succoth and Zarethan. 18 Solomon made so many of these items they did not weigh the bronze. 19 Solomon also made these items for God's temple: the gold altar, the tables on which the Bread of the Presence was kept, 20 the pure gold lampstands and their lamps which burned as specified at the entrance to the inner sanctuary,

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Huram his father - Or, “Huram his master-workman” (2 Chronicles 2:13 note).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 4:16. Huram his father — אב ab, father, is often used in Hebrew to signify a master, inventor, chief operator, and is very probably used here in the former sense by the Chaldee: All these Chiram his master made for King Solomon; or Chiram Abi, or rather Hiram, made for the king.
