What Does 2 Chronicles 2:12 Mean?
Huram continues by praising the LORD as the Maker of heaven and earth, and he credits God with giving David a son full of wisdom and understanding. He sees Solomon's ability to build for both God and kingdom as a divine gift, not merely human talent.
From the mouth of a Gentile king comes worship of the true God. Huram traces every good gift back to its source: the wisdom Solomon will use was given from above. So all our abilities are entrusted to us by the One who made heaven and earth, and the right response, like Huram's, is blessing and praise to the Giver.
