Back to King Solomon's Temple

Construction of palaces and temple for Kings David and Solomon of Judah-Israel by the Phoenician King Hiram of Tyre

The Phoenician king Hiram of Tyre was born in 989 BC. He ruled from 970-936 BC. He established friendly relations with David and his son Solomon, kings of the combined kingdoms of Judah and Israel. Hiram built a palace for David and two palaces and a temple for Solomon. A vast amount of information is given in the Bible about these.
