2 Chronicles 2:11
Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the LORD hath loved his people, he hath made thee king over them. Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the LORD hath loved his people, he hath made thee king over them.
Hiram recognized that Solomon had been set upon the throne by divine action rather than by merely human means. He understood that kingship as a token of the Lord's affection for Israel, discerning love as the reason behind the gift. God, in his view, had made Solomon king over His people precisely because He loved them.
