1 Reyes 5:1 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 5:1

And Hiram king of Tyre sent servants unto Solomon
His ambassadors, to condole him on the death of his father, and congratulate him on his accession to the throne; this king is called by the Phoenician historians F19 Hirom, and by Eupolemus F20 Suron, as he is Huram in ( 2 Chronicles 2:3 ) ; and by Theophilus of Antioch F21 Hierom the son of Abelmalus, in the twelfth year of whose reign the temple was built:

for he had heard that they had anointed him, king in the room of his
father;
that the Israelites had anointed him king:

for Hiram was ever a lover of David;
a friend and ally of his; and we never read of the Tyrians being at war with him, or assisting any of his enemies.

1 Reyes 5:1 In-Context

1 Hiram, rey de Tiro, envi贸 sus siervos a Salom贸n, cuando oy贸 que le hab铆an ungido rey en lugar de su padre, pues Hiram siempre hab铆a sido amigo de David.
2 Entonces Salom贸n envi贸 palabra a Hiram, diciendo:
3 T煤 sabes que mi padre David no pudo edificar una casa al nombre del SE脩OR su Dios a causa de las guerras en que se vio envuelto, hasta que el SE脩OR puso a sus enemigos bajo las plantas de sus pies.
4 Mas ahora el SE脩OR mi Dios me ha dado paz por todas partes; no hay adversario ni calamidad.
5 Y he aqu铆, pienso edificar una casa al nombre del SE脩OR mi Dios, como el SE脩OR habl贸 a mi padre David, diciendo: "Tu hijo, a quien pondr茅 sobre el trono en tu lugar, 茅l edificar谩 la casa a mi nombre."
