14 He was the son of a widowed woman from the tribe of Naphʹta·li, and his father was a Tyrʹi·an man,+ a worker in copper;+ and he was full of the wisdom and the understanding+ and the knowledge for doing every sort of work in copper. Accordingly he came to King Solʹo·mon and began to do all his work.

29 Have you beheld a man skillful in his work? Before kings is where he will station himself;+ he will not station himself before commonplace men.
