Hiram Makes the Bronze Furnishings
(2 Chronicles 3.15-17; 4.1-10)
13-14 Hiram was a skilled bronze worker from the city of Tyre.[a] His father was now dead, but he also had been a bronze worker from Tyre, and his mother was from the tribe of Naphtali.
King Solomon asked Hiram to come to Jerusalem and make the bronze furnishings to use for worship in the Lord's temple, and he agreed to do it.
15 Hiram made two bronze columns eight meters tall and almost two meters across.
