Huram/Hiram -- king of Tyre allied with David and Solomon; also the Tyrian master artisan
Huram (churam), also spelled Hiram (chiram), is a proper name borne by two notable figures: the Phoenician king of Tyre who supplied cedar, gold, and skilled labor for David's palace and Solomon's Temple (1 Chr 14:1; 2 Chr 2:3, 11-12), and the master artisan of mixed Tyrian-Israelite parentage whom King Huram sent to Solomon to execute the Temple's bronze work (2 Chr 2:13; 4:11, 16). The alternate spellings Hiram and Huram reflect dialectal variation in the Hebrew transmission, not distinct individuals. The name's twelve occurrences cluster in Chronicles' account of the Solomonic Temple construction.

1. Churam — The proper name Huram (Hiram), designating both the king of Tyre who allied with David and Solomon for the Temple project (1 Chr 14:1; 2 Chr 2:3) and the master bronze artisan sent by that king (2 Chr 2:13; 4:11). The spelling variants Hiram/Huram reflect orthographic and dialectal differences in transmission, not semantic distinctions. All twelve occurrences cluster in the Chronicler's Temple narrative. Cross-lingual transliterations -- English Hiram/Huram, Spanish Juram/Hiram, French Huram -- confirm monosemous proper-noun status. 12×
