2 Chronicles 2:13

Father. Hebrew Abi, is considered by some as the surname of Hiram. (Pagnin, &c.) --- But he might have that title in consideration of his great skill, as Solomon gives it him, chap. iv. 16. We use master in the same sense. Septuagint have, "servant," ( Greek: paida) except the Roman edition, which agrees with the Hebrew and reads, Greek: patera. (Calmet) --- Protestants, "of Huram, my father's;" (Haydock) supply servant, or architect. (Tirinus)
