After he had arrived from Hebron, David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him.

He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high, with four rows of cedar pillars supporting the cedar beams. The house was roofed with cedar above the beams that rested on the pillars—forty-five beams, fifteen per row. There were three rows of high windows facing one another in three tiers. All the doorways had rectangular frames, with the openings facing one another in three tiers. Solomon made his colonnade fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide, with a portico in front of it and a canopy with pillars in front of the portico. In addition, he built a hall for the throne, the Hall of Justice, where he was to judge. It was paneled with cedar from floor to ceiling. And the palace where Solomon would live, set further back, was of similar construction. He also made a palace like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had married. All these buildings were constructed with costly stones, cut to size and trimmed with saws inside and out from the foundation to the eaves, and from the outside to the great courtyard. The foundations were laid with large, costly stones, some ten cubits long and some eight cubits long. Above these were high-grade stones, cut to size, and cedar beams. The great courtyard was surrounded by three rows of dressed stone and a row of trimmed cedar beams, as were the inner courtyard and portico of the house of the LORD. |

He has given King David a wise son with insight and understanding, who will build a temple for the LORD and a royal palace for himself. |
1 Chronicles 14:1 Summary
This verse tells us that Hiram, the king of Tyre, sent some of his best workers and materials to help David build a new palace. This was a way for Hiram to show his friendship and support for David, and it also shows how God was providing for David's needs. Just like David, we can trust that God will provide for us and help us achieve our goals, as promised in Philippians 4:19. By recognizing and being grateful for God's provision, we can build a stronger relationship with Him and with others, just as David did in this verse.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who was Hiram king of Tyre and why did he send envoys to David?
Hiram was a king who ruled over the city of Tyre, and he sent envoys to David as a gesture of friendship and diplomacy, recognizing David as the king of Israel, as seen in 1 Chronicles 14:1. This alliance was likely due to the growing influence and reputation of David as a leader, similar to the way other nations recognized the authority of Solomon in 1 Kings 10:1.
What was the purpose of the cedar logs, stonemasons, and carpenters sent by Hiram?
The purpose of these gifts was to help David build a palace, as stated in 1 Chronicles 14:1, demonstrating Hiram's support and acknowledgement of David's kingdom, much like the way God provided for the construction of the temple in 1 Chronicles 22:1-5.
How does this verse relate to God's plan for David's life?
This verse shows how God was working behind the scenes to establish David as king and to provide for his needs, as promised in 2 Samuel 7:1-17, where God establishes a covenant with David, promising to make his name great and to provide for his kingdom.
What can we learn from the relationship between Hiram and David?
We can learn about the importance of building strong relationships and alliances, as well as the value of recognizing and submitting to God-ordained authority, as seen in Romans 13:1-7, where we are instructed to submit to those in authority over us.
Reflection Questions
- How do I recognize and respond to the gifts and provisions that God brings into my life, just as David received the gifts from Hiram?
- In what ways can I use my skills and resources to serve and support others, just as the stonemasons and carpenters were sent to help David?
- How can I cultivate a sense of gratitude and humility, acknowledging God's provision and sovereignty in my life, as David did in 1 Chronicles 14:2?
- What are some ways that I can build strong, godly relationships with others, just as David and Hiram did in this verse?

Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house. Now Hiram king of Tyre.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 14:1
1 Chronicles 14:1 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.Ver. 1. Now Hiram king of Tyre.]
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 14:1
(1) Hiram.—So the Hebrew text of Chronicles spells the name, and the LXX. and all the other ancient versions both of Samuel and Chronicles have it so. But the Hebrew margin of Chronicles writes “Huram.” Messengers.—Ambassadors. Timber of cedars.—Felled from the Lebanon, and sea-borne to Joppa (2 Chronicles 16). With masons and carpenters.—Literally, and craftsmen of walls, and craftsmen of timber. 2 Samuel 5:11 has “craftsmen of wood, and craftsmen of stone of wall.” To build him an house.—Samuel, “and they built a house for David.” (2 Samuel 5:11.) House.—Palace. So the Temple was called “the house” (hab-bayith) as well as “the palace” (hçkçl; comp, the Accadian e-gal, “great house”). We may think of the numerous records of palace building which the Assyrian and Babylonian sovereigns have left us. The cedar of Lebanon (Labnânu) was a favourite material with them.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 14:1
CHAPTER XIV Hiram sends artificers and materials to David, to build him a house, 1, 2. David's wives and children, 3-7. He defeats the Philistines in two battles: one in the valley of Rephaim, 8-12; and the other at Gibeon and Gazer, 13-16. His fame goes out into all the surrounding nations, 17. NOTES ON CHAP. XIV Verse 1. Now Hiram king of Tyre] See the transactions of this chapter related 2 Samuel 5:11-25.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 14:1
1, 2. Hiram’s [first] Embassy to David The dislocation of the narrative mentioned in the last note has concealed the occasion of Hiram’s embassy. The narrative of 2 Samuel 5:9-11 suggests that Hiram heard of the building works which David was carrying on at Jerusalem and so sent materials and workmen to assist. David accepted the welcome offer (which ultimately led to an alliance) as a sign of Divine favour.
Barnes' Notes on 1 Chronicles 14:1
Compare 2 Samuel 5:11-25, the only important variations from which are in 1 Chronicles 14:4-7, the list of the sons of David (see 1 Chronicles 3:1 note), and in 1 Chronicles 14:12, where the fact is
