Quotation

Later text

1 Chronicles 14:1BSB

Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs, stonemasons, and carpenters, to build a palace for him.

Earlier text

2 Samuel 5:11BSB

Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs, carpenters, and stonemasons, and they built a palace for David.

Significance

Both texts record that Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David along with cedar logs, carpenters, and stonemasons to build him a palace. The shared detail of Hiram initiating contact with David signals international recognition of David's kingship — the pagan king of Tyre acknowledges Israel's new ruler through diplomatic gift-giving and construction aid. The Chronicler reproduces this notice (1 Chr 14:1) as evidence that "the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had highly exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel" (1 Chr 14:2). The cedar palace (בֵּית אֲרָזִים, bet arazim) foreshadows the cedar temple David would later desire to build.

Reference Type: Direct Quotation
Connection Method(s): Redemptive-Historical Progression — Hiram's embassy is carried over from Samuel as evidence that "the LORD had established him as king over Israel" (1 Chr 14:2); in the Chronicler's sequence the gentile king's cedar and craftsmen anticipate the temple project, advancing the narrative from David's palace toward the house of God.
