The number of Solomon's workmen and laborers And Solomon relayed this message to Hiram: Solomon: Solomon, the son of King David and Bathsheba, was the third king of Israel. Known for his wisdom, wealth, and building projects, Solomon's reign marked a period of peace and prosperity for Israel. His leadership is often seen as a fulfillment of God's promise to David that his son would build a temple for the Lord (2 Samuel 7:12-13). Solomon's wisdom is highlighted in 1 Kings 3:12, where God grants him unparalleled understanding. Relayed: The act of relaying a message indicates a formal communication, often involving diplomacy and careful negotiation. In the ancient Near East, such communications were crucial for maintaining alliances and trade relationships. Solomon's ability to communicate effectively with other rulers was a testament to his wisdom and political acumen. This message: The content of the message is significant, as it pertains to Solomon's plans to build the temple in Jerusalem, a central place of worship for the Israelites. This construction project was not only a religious undertaking but also a political one, symbolizing the unification and strength of the Israelite kingdom under Solomon's rule. To Hiram: Hiram was the king of Tyre, a Phoenician city-state known for its skilled craftsmen and abundant resources, particularly cedar wood from Lebanon. The relationship between Solomon and Hiram was mutually beneficial, as Hiram provided materials and labor for the temple, while Solomon offered agricultural products in return (1 Kings 5:10-11). This alliance reflects the interconnectedness of ancient Near Eastern societies and the importance of trade and cooperation. Hiram's assistance in building the temple can be seen as a type of Christ, as it foreshadows the inclusion of Gentiles in God's redemptive plan, as seen in the New Testament (Ephesians 2:11-22).
