According to an ancient Greek Historian, Hiram Abif was "a son of a man of Tyre and whose mother was a Jewess of the House of David" - that is of Judah.
1st Kings Chapter 7, Verses 13-14, tells us that he was a "Widow's son of the Tribe
of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre". In 2nd Chronicles Chapter 11, Verses
13-14, he is described as the son of a "woman of the daughters of Dan."
The stories of his skill and "cunning" as an artificer and metal worker are told in scriptures, as well as Masonic lore, and myth and legend.
