Hijo de una viuda de la tribu de Nephtalí, y su padre había sido de Tiro: trabajaba él en bronce, lleno de sabiduría y de inteligencia y saber en toda obra de metal. Este pues vino al rey Salomón, é hizo toda su obra.

Rashi on I Kings
He was filled with the wisdom and understanding and the knowledge [skill]. The three tools19These three qualities, wisdom, understanding and skill are the same three qualities that Betzalel, the builder of the Mishkon, possessed. See Shemos 31:3. with which the universe was created, as it is stated, “By wisdom He founded the earth, by understanding He established the heavens, by His knowledge the depths were broken up.”20Mishlei 3:19— 20. The Beis [Hamikdosh] was built with these three.
