In the first Book of Kings, Solomon recruited Huram, a bronze expert from Tyre, to work on the Temple furnishings.
According to 1 Kings 7:13–14, Huram’s mother was a widow from the Israelite tribe of Naphtali, while his father was a Tyrian bronze worker. The passage praises Huram’s wisdom, understanding, and skill in making every kind of bronze object.
Huram produced major Temple features, including the two monumental bronze pillars commonly called Jachin and Boaz, the large bronze basin known as the “Sea,” and numerous basins, shovels, and bowls. These objects were decorative as well as functional parts of Solomon’s Temple.
Readers may encounter the name as Hiram, Huram, or Hiram-abi, depending on the Bible translation and passage. This Huram was an artisan, not Hiram I, the king of Tyre who supplied Solomon with materials and labor. The question’s answer refers specifically to the craftsman described in 1 Kings 7.
