The Spirit in Artistry
One commentator highlights that the Bible attributes the artistic skill of Hiram, who crafted the temple's beautiful furnishings, to the wisdom given by the Spirit of God. This shows a broad understanding of the Spirit's work, not just in prophecy or teaching, but also in creative and practical skills. It affirms that "there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit" (1 Cor. 12:4).
