The [[Hebrew Bible]] says that he allied himself with [[David]], king of [[Kingdom of Israel (united monarchy)|the United Kingdom of Israel]] and his artisans built David's palace in [[Jerusalem]] after his capture of the city.<ref>{{bibleverse|2|Samuel|5:11|KJV|}}</ref><ref>{{bibleverse|1|Kings|5:1|KJV|}}</ref><ref>{{bibleverse|1|Chronicles|14:1|KJV|}})</ref> The palace was built using [[Lebanon Cedar]]. After David's death, Hiram maintained his alliance with David's son and successor [[Solomon]], again as an equal ("אחי", meaning "my brother")<ref>{{
According to the Bible, both kings grew rich through this trade, and Hiram sent Solomon architects, workmen, cedar wood, and gold to build the [[Solomon's Temple|First Temple]] in [[Jerusalem]]. Josephus says that he also extended the Tyrean harbour, enlarged the city by joining the two islands on which it was built, and constructed a royal palace and a temple for [[Melqart]] (''Against Apion'' i:17).
