Hi'ram. (noble). Hiram or Huram

1. The king of Tyre, who sent workmen and materials to Jerusalem, first, 2 Samuel 5:11; 1 Chronicles 14:1, to build a palace for David, (B.C. 1064), whom he ever loved, 1 Kings 5:1, and again, 1 Kings 5:10; 1 Kings 7:13; 2 Chronicles 2:16, to build the Temple for Solomon, with whom he had a treaty of peace and commerce, 1 Kings 5:11-12.

He admitted Solomon's ships issuing from Joppa, to a share in the profitable trade of the Mediterranean, 1 Kings 10:22, and the Jewish sailors, under the guidance of Tyrians, were taught to bring the gold of India, 1 Kings 9:26, to Solomon's two harbors on the Red Sea.

2. Hiram was the name of a man of mixed race, 1 Kings 7:13; 1 Kings 7:40, the principal architect and engineer, sent by King Hiram to Solomon. See Huram.
