Mason
An artificer in stone. The Tyrians seem to have been specially skilled in architecture (1 Kgs 5:17, 1 Kgs 5:18; 2 Sam 5:11). This art the Hebrews no doubt learned in Egypt (Ex 1:11, Ex 1:14), where ruins of temples and palaces fill the traveller with wonder at the present day.
From Easton’s Bible Dictionary (1897), by Matthew George Easton.
