king of Tyre, and son of Abibal, is mentioned by profane authors
as distinguished for his magnificence, and for adorning the city of
Tyre. When David was acknowledged king by all Israel, Hiram sent
ambassadors with artificers, and cedar, to build his palace. Hiram also
sent ambassadors to Solomon, to congratulate him on his accession to the
crown Solomon desired of him timber and stones for building the temple,
with labourers. These Hiram promised, provided Solomon would furnish him
with corn and oil. The two princes lived on the best terms with each
other.
