Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Huram: 1 Kings 5:1, Hiram

As thou didst: 2 Samuel 5:11, 1 Chronicles 14:1

Reciprocal: 1 Kings 5:2 - General 1 Chronicles 22:4 - cedar trees

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Solomon sent to Huram king of Tyre,.... The same with Hiram, 1 Kings 5:1 and from whence it appears, that Huram first sent a letter to Solomon to congratulate him on his accession to the throne, which is not taken notice of here:

as thou didst deal with my father, and didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein; see 1 Chronicles 14:1, even so deal with me; which words are a supplement.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Huram, the form used throughout Chronicles (except 1 Chronicles 14:1) for the name both of the king and of the artisan whom he lent to Solomon 2 Chronicles 2:13; 2Ch 4:11, 2 Chronicles 4:16, is a late corruption of the true native word, Hiram (marginal note and reference).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 2:3. Solomon sent to Huram — This man's name is written חירם Chiram in Kings; and in Chronicles, חורם Churam: there is properly no difference, only a י yod and a ו vau interchanged. See on 1 Kings 5:2.
