”Now King Solomon sent and brought Huram from Tyre. He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a bronze worker; he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill in working with all kinds of bronze work. So he came to King Solomon and did all his work.“ I Kings 7:13-14 NKJV
a. Huram from Tyre: This man was half Israeli and half Gentile, and he was the best craftsman around. Solomon hired him to do all his work – that is, the fine artistic work of the palace and especially the temple. (Guzik)
Wisdom and Skill
Years ago when I was a young man, a man with wisdom told me to make a living with my hands and when the economy was bad I would never be without work. I always had a mechanical ability and the wise man was correct. Like Hiram I was always in demand and was able to provide for my family.
Schools should be testing children for mechanical aptitude and steering students towards their abilities.
Why don’t our schools teach trades anymore?
Blessings
