Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

Huram his father - Or, "Huram his master-workman" (2-Chronicles 2:13 note).

Huram his father - אב ab, father, is often used in Hebrew to signify a master, inventor, chief operator, and is very probably used here in the former sense by the Chaldee: All these Chiram his master made for King Solomon; or Chiram Abi, or rather Hiram, made for the king.

The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did Huram (g) his father make to king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright brass.
(g) Whom Solomon reverenced for the gifts that God had given him, as a father; he had the same name as Huram the king of Tyrus, his mother was a Jewess, and his father a Tyrian. Some read, for his father, the author of this work.

His father - He is so called because Solomon usually called him by that name out of that great respect which he bare to him for his excellent art and service which he did for him: it being usual to call great artists and inventors of things by this name.
