He [was] a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father [was] a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and (i) he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.
(i) Thus when God will have his glory set forth, he raises up men, and gives them excellent gifts for the accomplishment of the same, (Exodus 31:2-3).
