2 Chronicles 2:13-14

13 I've sent you Huram-Abi - he's already on his way - he knows the construction business inside and out.
14 His mother is from Dan and his father from Tyre. He knows how to work in gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone, and wood, in purple, violet, linen, and crimson textiles; he is also an expert engraver and competent to work out designs with your artists and architects, and those of my master David, your father.
