King of Tyre. He entered into an alliance with David, and assisted him in building his palace by sending him able workmen, and also cedar-trees and fir-trees from Lebanon (2 Sam 5:11; 1Chr 14:1). After the death of David he entered into a similar alliance with Solomon, and assisted him greatly in building the temple (1 Kg 5:1; 1 Kg 9:11; 2Chr 2:3). He also took part in Solomon's traffic to the Eastern Seas (1 Kg 9:27; 1 Kg 10:11; 2Chr 8:18; 2Chr 9:10).
