Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Hiram king of Tyre sent servants unto Solomon,.... His ambassadors, to condole him on the death of his father, and congratulate him on his accession to the throne; this king is called by the Phoenician historians s Hirom, and by Eupolemus t Suron, as he is Huram in 2 Chronicles 2:3; and by Theophilus of Antioch u Hierom the son of Abelmalus, in the twelfth year of whose reign the temple was built:

for he had heard that they had anointed him, king in the room of his father; that the Israelites had anointed him king:

for Hiram was ever a lover of David; a friend and ally of his; and we never read of the Tyrians being at war with him, or assisting any of his enemies.

s Apud Joseph. contr. Apion. l. 1. c. 17, 18. t Apud Euseb. Praepar. Evangel. l. 9. c. 33, 34. u Ad Antolyc. l. 3. p. 131, 132.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Hiram, king of Tyre - Menander of Ephesus, who wrote a history of Tyre in Greek, founded upon native Tyrian documents, about 300 B.C., mentioned this Hiram as the son of Abibaal king of Tyre, and said that he ascended the throne when he was nineteen; that he reigned thirty-four years, and, dying at the age of fifty-three, was succeeded by his son Baleazar. Menander spoke at some length of the dealings of Hiram with Solomon.

Sent his servants - This appears to have been an embassy of congratulation.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER V

Hiram, king of Tyre, sends to congratulate Solomon on his

accession to the kingdom, 1.

Solomon consults him on building a temple for the Lord, and

requests his assistance, 2-6.

Hiram is pleased and specifies the assistance which he will

afford, 7-9.

He sends cedars and fir trees, 10.

The return made by Solomon, 11.

They form a league, 12.

Solomon makes a levy of men in Israel to prepare wood and

stones, 13-18.

NOTES ON CHAP. V

Verse 1 Kings 5:1. Hiram king of Tyre — It must have been at the beginning of Solomon's reign that these ambassadors were sent; and some suppose that the Hiram mentioned here is different from him who was the friend of David; but there seems no very solid reason for this supposition. As Hiram had intimate alliance with David, and built his palace, 2 Samuel 5:11, he wished to maintain the same good understanding with his son, of whose wisdom he had no doubt heard the most advantageous accounts; and he loved the son because he always loved the father, for Hiram was ever a lover of David.
