2 Chronicles 2:13
So now I am sending you Huram-abi, a skillful man endowed with creativity.
BSB
ASV
And now I have sent a skilful man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father’s,
KJV
And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father’s,
Of Huram my father’s - A wrong translation. Huram here is the workman sent by the king of Tyre and not the king of Tyre’s father (see 1Ki 5:1 note). The words in the original are Huram Abi, and the latter word is now commonly thought to be either a proper name or an epithet of honor, e. g., my master-workman.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
