Gill's Notes on the Bible

And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding,.... In such things as Solomon required he should, 2 Chronicles 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, 1 Kings 7:13, and so he is called "Huram his father, or Huram Abif", 2 Chronicles 4:16.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Of Huram my father’s - A wrong translation. Huram here is the workman sent by the king of Tyre and not the king of Tyre’s father (see 1 Kings 5:1 note). The words in the original are Huram Abi, and the latter word is now commonly thought to be either a proper name or an epithet of honor, e. g., my master-workman.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 2:13. I have sent a conning man — His name appears to have been Hiram, or Hiram Abi: see the notes on 1 Kings 7:13-14.
