1. King of Tyre, who loved David and was a friend of Solomon. By his servants he supplied both timber and stone for the temple and the palaces of Solomon. Their navies also united to bring the produce of other lands. Solomon gave to Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee, but Hiram was not pleased with them: he called them, in Aramaic CABUL,'displeasing or dirty;' and the cities were eventually returned to Solomon. 2 Samuel 5:11; 1 Kings 5:1-18; 1 Kings 9:11-27; 1 Kings 10:11,22; 1 Chronicles 14:1 , etc. He is called HURAM in 2 Chronicles 2:3-12; 2 Chronicles 8:2,18; 2 Chronicles 9:10,21 .
