בֶּן־אִשָּׁה֩ אַלְמָנָ֨ה ה֜וּא מִמַּטֵּ֣ה נַפְתָּלִ֗י וְאָבִ֣יו אִישׁ־צֹרִי֮ חֹרֵ֣שׁ נְחֹשֶׁת֒ וַ֠יִּמָּלֵא אֶת־הַחָכְמָ֤ה וְאֶת־הַתְּבוּנָה֙ וְאֶת־הַדַּ֔עַת לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת כָּל־מְלָאכָ֖ה בַּנְּחֹ֑שֶׁת וַיָּבוֹא֙ אֶל־הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה וַיַּ֖עַשׂ אֶת־כָּל־מְלַאכְתּֽוֹ׃
C’était le fils d’une veuve de la tribu de Nephtali, et son père était un Tyrien, ouvrier en cuivre; lui-même était plein de talent et d’industrie, habile à tous les travaux du cuivre. Il se rendit auprès du roi Salomon et exécuta tous ses ouvrages.

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.
