Chart from recommended resource Jensen's Survey of the OT - used by permission 1 Kings Chart from Charles Swindoll THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL 1 Kings 5:1 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, when he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father, for Hiram had always been a friend of David. Hiram: 1Ki 5:10,13 9:12-14 2Ch 2:3, Huram sent his servants to Solomon: 2Sa 8:10 10:1,2 Ps 45:12 Hiram had always been a friend of David: 2Sa 5:11 1Ch 14:1 Am 1:9 Related Passages: 2 Samuel 5:11+ Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees and carpenters and stonemasons; and they built a house for David. 1 Chronicles 14:1+ Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees, masons and carpenters, to build a house for him. Now Hiram king of Tyre (rock - city was built on rocky island) sent his servants to Solomon, when he heard that they had anointed (masah) him king in place of his father, for Hiram had always been a friend (aheb/ahab; Lxx = agapao - loved) of David - Hiram was a Phoenician, a people group who were not worshippers of Jehovah and yet David's godly life had an impact on King Hiram who had always been a friend of David. The ESV has "Hiram always loved David." David's love had an impact on this king's life and out of love for David, he expressed his love for David's son, Solomon. THOUGHT - Even though David is dead, his life and love continued to have a "ripple effect." Such is the life of any man or woman about whom it can be said they are a "man (woman) after God's Own heart." (Acts 13:22+). Your life can have an impact on the lives of others far beyond the grave. Consider for a moment how many friends and loved ones have been saved after a godly Christian went home to be with the Lord (See my eulogy for Akong, truly one of the most Christlike believers I have ever met in my 40 years as a follower of Christ.) NET NOTE - Beginning with 1Ki 4:21, the verse numbers through 1Ki 5:18 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), with 1Ki 4:21 ET = 5:1 HT, 1Ki 4:22 ET = 5:2 HT, etc., through 1Ki 5:18 ET = 5:32 HT. Beginning with 1Ki 6:1 the numbering of verses in the English Bible and the Hebrew text is again the same. Keil - Immediately after the consolidation of his kingdom, Solomon commenced the preparations for the building of a temple, first of all by entering into negotiations with king Hiram of Tyre, to procure from him not only the building materials requisite, viz., cedars, cypresses, and hewn stones, but also a skilled workman for the artistic work of the temple (1 Kings 5:1-12); and, secondly, by causing the number of workmen required for this great work to be raised out of his own kingdom, and sending them to Lebanon to prepare the materials for the building in connection with the Tyrian builders (1 Kings 5:13-18). - We have a parallel passage to this in 2 Chronicles 2, which agrees with the account before us in all the leading points, but differs in many of the details, omitting several things which were not essential to the main fact, and communicating others which are passed over in our account, e.g., Solomon's request that a Tyrian workman might be sent.
