Vulgate (Clementine): Misit quoque Hiram rex Tyri nuntios ad David, et ligna cedrina, et artifices lignorum, artificesque lapidum ad parietes : et ædificaverunt domum David.
Septuagint (Swete): καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Χειρὰμ βασιλεὺς Τύρου ἀγγέλους πρὸς Δαυεὶδ καὶ ξύλα κέδρινα καὶ τέκτονας ξύλων καὶ τέκτονας λίθων, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν οἶκον τῷ Δαυείδ.
Hebrew (WLC): וַ֠יִּשְׁלַח חִירָ֨ם מֶֽלֶךְ צֹ֥ר מַלְאָכִים֮ אֶל דָּוִד֒ וַעֲצֵ֣י אֲרָזִ֔ים וְחָרָשֵׁ֣י עֵ֔ץ וְחָֽרָשֵׁ֖י אֶ֣בֶן קִ֑יר וַיִּבְנֽוּ בַ֖יִת לְדָוִֽד

Haydock's commentary

Hiram was a magnificent prince, who kept up a correspondence with Solomon. He greatly adorned the city of Tyre. See Jospehus, contra Apion 1.)
