¹¹Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, “Because the LORD loves his people, he has made you king over them.”
¹²Huram continued, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, endowed with discretion and understanding, who would build a house for the LORD and a house for his kingdom.
¹³Now I have sent a skillful man, endowed with understanding, Huram-abi,
¹⁴the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan; and his father was a man of Tyre. He is skillful to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stone, in timber, in purple, in blue, in fine linen, and in crimson, also to engrave any kind of engraving and to devise any device, that there may be a place appointed to him with your skillful men, and with the skillful men of my lord David your father.
¹⁵“Now therefore, the wheat, the barley, the oil, and the wine which my lord has spoken of, let him send to his servants;
¹⁶and we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as you need. We will bring it to you in rafts by sea to Joppa; then you shall carry it up to Jerusalem.”

¹¹Huram made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. So Huram finished doing the work that he did for King Solomon in God’s house:
¹²the two pillars, the bowls, the two capitals which were on the top of the pillars, the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars,
¹³and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks—two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars.
¹⁴He also made the bases, and he made the basins on the bases—
¹⁵one sea, and the twelve oxen under it.
¹⁶Huram-abi also made the pots, the shovels, the forks, and all its vessels for King Solomon, for the LORD’s house, of bright bronze.

Unresolved interpretation: Huram-abi in 2 Chronicles and Hiram the craftsman in 1 Kings

2 Chronicles 2:13–14 says Huram king of Tyre sends a craftsman whose mother is one of the daughters of Dan and whose father is a man of Tyre. WEB names him Huram-abi; the Korean Revised Version does not clearly give him a personal name here.

2 Chronicles 2:13–14 and 4:11–16 describe the craftsman sent by the king of Tyre as Huram or, in the Korean text at 4:16, 후람의 아비; WEB calls him Huram-abi. 1 Kings 7:13–14 also connects a craftsman whose father was from Tyre with the house but gives a different description of his mother’s tribe. This collection keeps the craftsmen separate and does not decide whether they are the same man.
