"And now I have sent a skilful man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father`s," — 2 Chronicles 2:13 (ASV)
"Huram my father's" — This is a wrong translation. Huram here is the workman sent by the king of Tyre, not the king of Tyre’s father (see the note on 1 Kings 5:1). The words in the original are Huram Abi, and the latter word is now commonly thought to be either a proper name or an epithet of honor, for example, "my master-workman."
