Huram was a craftsman, an engraver. But the Bible
records that Huram was a highly skilled engraver who could make any engraving,
and could accomplish any plan. This was what qualified him to serve as the
master craftsman of King Hiram of Tyre. At the request of King Solomon for a
skilled craftsman, King Hiram sent Huram with very strong recommendations to
King Solomon. Huram lived up to his reputation and served King Solomon for

in the temple as well as the palace of King Solomon. Huram did indeed stood
before Kings – from King Hiram to the wealthiest and wisest King of his time.
