Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Chronicles 4:16

16 The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and all their instruments did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the LORD, of bright brass.

i. e. Solomons Father; the Relative being put before the Antecedent, which is not unusual in the Hebrew Tongue. And he is so called here, because Solomon usually called him by that name out of that great Respect which he bare to him for his Excellent Art and Service which he did for him: it being usual to call great Artists and Inventers of things by this Name; of which see Gen. 4. 20, 21. Or, Huram Abiu or Abif, a Man so called, or Huram Abi, as ch. 2. 13.
