2 Chronicles 2:13
Ver. 13. And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding,.... In such things as Solomon required he should, 2Ch 2:7
of Huram my father's; a workman of his, whom he employed, and so might be depended upon as a good artificer; though rather Huram is the artificer's name,
and Abi, we render "my father", his surname, that is, "Huram Abi"; and this is the opinion of several learned men {g}, and is very probable; for certain it is, that his name was Huram or Hiram, 1Ki 7:13, and so he is called "Huram his father, or Huram Abif", 2Ch 4:16.
