high-born.

  1. Generally "Huram," one of the sons of Bela (1Chr 8:5).
  2. Hiram of Tyre
  3. The "master workman" whom Hiram sent to Solomon. He was the son of a widow of Dan, and of a Tyrian father. In

2Chr 2:13 "Huram my father" should be Huram Abi, the word "Abi" (rendered here "my father") being regarded as a proper name, or it may perhaps be a title of distinction given to Huram, and equivalent to "master." (Comp. 1 Kg 7:14; 2Chr 4:16.) He cast the magnificent brazen works for Solomon's Temple in clay-beds in the valley of Jordan, between Succoth and Zarthan.
