Clarke's 2-chronicles 4:16 Bible Commentary
Huram his father - אב ab, father, is often used in Hebrew to signify a master, inventor, chief operator, and is very probably used here in the former sense by the Chaldee: All these Chiram his master made for King Solomon; or Chiram Abi, or rather Hiram, made for the king.
Barnes's 2-chronicles 4:16 Bible Commentary
Huram his father - Or, "Huram his master-workman" (2 Chronicles 2:13 note).
Wesley's 2-chronicles 4:16 Bible Commentary
4:16 His father - He is so called because Solomon usually called him by that name out of that great respect which he bare to him for his excellent art and service which he did for him: it being usual to call great artists and inventors of things by this name.
