SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:11

¶ E Hiram rey de Tiro envió también embajadores a David, y madera de cedro, y carpinteros, y canteros para los muros, los cuales edificaron la casa de David.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 5:11

Verse 11. Hiram king of
Tyre] He was a very friendly man, and no doubt a believer in the true God. He was not only a friend to David, but also of his son Solomon, to whom, in building the temple, he afforded the most important assistance.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 11. And Hiram king of
Tyre , etc.] This was father of that Hiram that lived in the times of Solomon, whose name was Abibalus before he took the name of Hiram, which became a common name of the kings of Tyre; his former name may be seen in the ancient historians quoted by Josephus f95 ; of the city of Tyre, (see Gill on “ Isaiah 23:1”); which was built one year before the destruction of Troy f96 . This king, on hearing of David’s being acknowledged king by all Israel, and of his taking Jerusalem out of the hands of the Jebusites, sent messengers to David ; to congratulate him upon all this: and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons ; these might not be sent at first, but David intending to build himself an house, might, by the messengers on their return, request of Hiram to send him timber and workmen for that purpose; the people of Israel being chiefly employed in cultivating their fields, and vineyards, and oliveyards, and feeding their flocks and herds, few of them had any skill in hewing: timber and stone, and building houses, at least not like the Tyrians and Sidonians; (see 1 Kings 5:6); and accordingly he sent him cedars from Lebanon, a great part of which was in his dominions, and artificers in wood and stone, to build his house in the most elegant manner: and they built David an house ; to dwell in, a stately palace, called an house of cedar, ( 2 Samuel 7:2).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 11-16 -
David's house was not the worse, nor the less fit to be dedicated to God, for being built by the sons of the stranger. It is prophesied of the gospel church, The sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, an their kings shall minister unto thee, Isa 60:10. David's government wa rooted and built up. David was established king; so is the Son of David, and all who, through him, are made to our God kings and priests Never had the nation of Israel appeared so great as it began now to be Many have the favour and love of God, yet do not perceive it, and s want the comfort of it; but to be exalted to that, and to perceive it is happiness. David owned it was for his people's sake God had don great things for him; that he might be a blessing to them, and tha they might be happy under him.
