Question: Of what city was Hiram the King?
Answer: Tyre. (I Kings 9:11)
Comments: Hiram was king of the Phoenician city of Tyre. He was a friend of King David (I Kings 5:1) and had a political alliance with Israel during Solomon's reign.
(Hiram king of Tyre had supplied Solomon with cedar and cypress timber and gold according to all his desire), then King Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee. (I Kings 9:11, NASB)
At Solomon's request, Hiram provided the timber for the building of the first temple.
Note: This painting of the constuction of the temple was done by Isabella Colette.
