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 tambi茅n sus siervos a Salom贸n, luego que oy贸 que lo hab铆an ungido por rey en lugar de su padre; porque Hiram hab铆a siempre amado a David.
2 Entonces Salom贸n envi贸 a decir a Hiram:
3 T煤 sabes como mi padre David no pudo edificar casa al nombre del SE脩OR su Dios, por las guerras que le cercaron, hasta que el SE脩OR puso sus enemigos bajo las plantas de sus pies.
4 Ahora el SE脩OR mi Dios me ha dado reposo por todas partes; que ni hay adversarios, ni mal encuentro.
5 Yo por tanto he determinado ahora edificar Casa al nombre del SE脩OR mi Dios, como el SE脩OR lo habl贸 a David mi padre, diciendo: Tu hijo, que yo pondr茅 en lugar tuyo en tu trono, 茅l edificar谩 casa a mi nombre.
