F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Kings 7:13-26

Pillars of Security and Strength 1 Kings 7:13-26 Hiram, the artificer, was remarkably gifted. From his father he had inherited all the genius of Tyre, while on his mother’s side he was of the tribe of Naphtali and thus inherited the religious genius of the Hebrew people. The twin pillars were made of the brass taken from the king of Zobah, 1 Chronicles 18:8-9 . Each would stand to a height of forty feet. Their names were symbolical, and indicated their strength and durability. Wreaths of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 7:1-51

Taking advantage of the treaty with Hiram, Solomon also built a house for himself, the house of the forest of Lebanon, a description of which is given in the commencement of this chapter. It is surely significant that the chronicler says concerning the Temple, "So he was seven years in building It”; and then, 'And Solomon was building his own house thirteen years." Comment is hardly necessary, save, perhaps, to remind ourselves that however strong our zeal may be for the Ark of God, if the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 7:13-14

Solomon Sends For A Tyrian Expert To Fashion The Embellishments And New Furnishings For The Temple (1 Kings 7:13-14 ). These two verses introduce the whole. They commence with Solomon sending for a man named Hiram (not the king) whom he fetches out of Tyre. There appears to be a deliberate attempt in the description of him to bring to mind Bezalel, the skilled worker who made the Tabernacle furnishings and embellishments (Exodus 35:30-33), for he is described as being ‘filled with wisdom... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 7:13-51

The Furnishing And Embellishment Of The Temple (1 Kings 7:13-51 ). The passage is divided into two parts. The first part emphasises that what is described was the work of Hiram, a skilled metalworker and carpenter from Tyre who was half Israelite, half Tyrian. He was called on to complete the furnishing and embellishing of the Temple for the Inner court. It will be noted that there is a deliberate attempt to parallel him with Bezalel, the craftsman who made the original Tabernacle furnishings... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 7:1-51

1 Kings 7. Solomon’ s Palace (1 Kings 1-12). The Temple Implements (1Kings 13– 51).— Twenty years ( cf. 1 Kings 9:10 with 1 Kings 7:1) was Solomon engaged in building. After completing the Temple he built his own palace, with its courts and approaches. These, according to Stade, were erected on the Ophel hill, which lay S. of the Temple mountain, and were constructed so as to lead up to the sanctuary itself. The whole chapter, like most of the 6th, is from a source descriptive of the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Kings 7:14

A widow’s son of the tribe of Naphtali. Object. She was one of the daughters of Dan, 2 Chronicles 2:14. Answ. So indeed Hiram king of Tyre there affirms; but he might easily mistake or be misinformed, especially being no Israelite, nor a careful observer of the distinction of tribes. Or she might be of Dan by her father, and of Naphtali by her mother, or by her husband, who was of that tribe, and therefore she was truly a widow of Naphtali. His father was a man of Tyre; either by his descent,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Kings 7:13-51

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—1 Kings 7:13. Fetched Hiram out of Tyre—He seems to have been eminent among the artists in metals for which Tyre and Phœnicia were then renowned. This man (of like name with the king) is designated in 2 Chronicles 2:13, by the title of honour אב—i.e., master, teacher, father (Keil). His genius was a natural gift of God (1 Kings 7:14). Note the difference between this phrase concerning Hiram, “filled with wisdom.” &c., and the statement as to the supernatural... read more
