And now I have sent a skillful man, endowed with understanding, Huram my master[ craftsman (the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre), skilled to work in gold and silver, bronze and iron, stone and wood, purple and blue, fine linen and crimson, and to make any engraving and to accomplish any plan which may be given to him, with your skillful men and with the skillful men of my lord David your father. vv.13-14
Read chapter 2
Huram is an impressive man. He's not just skilled in one thing but in at least eight different materials: gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone, wood, yarn, fine linen, engravings. Talk about the perfect guy you'd want building your house or anything you'd want build or designed. Hiram lives in Tyre and is a half Israelite as his mother was from the tribe of Dan and father from Tyre. Solomon sent a letter to the King of Tyre for material to build the temple and for a skilled craftsman to lead his people in the building. Because of King David's relationship with the King of Tyre and setting up provision for Solomon, the King is happy to proved all Solomon requests. (We'll see how Solomon releases as a thank you once everything is built later.) There may be many men that may to believe in the one True God, but are still willing to work well for deeds for God due to integrity of the person they're working for. How can you show integrity to others that may not be deliver but are willing to work, serve or be a part of something you are?
