And King Solomon sent and brought Hiram from Tyre.
1 Kings 7:13
Apparently Hiram was a popular name among the Phoenicians of Tyre. This man wasn't the same as King Hiram of Tyre, but the son of another Tyrian man and an Israelite woman from Naphtali. Despite not being an Israelite himself (in God's plan, nationality is determined by the father, not the mother), God gave Hiram a phenomenal level of talent in bronzeworking, perhaps even to the level of prophecy, like Bezalel who built the furnishings of the Tabernacle. God chooses whomever he wills without regard to our expectations or preferences.
