1 Kings 9:13 continues the story: Hiram complains about the cities Solomon gave him — a later development in their relationship from the initial contact.

1 Kings 9:12-14 shows Hiram's later dissatisfaction with Solomon's gift, revealing the strained outcome of the alliance begun in 1 Kings 5:1.

2 Samuel 5:11 records the same Hiram sending to David with cedar and craftsmen — this is the earlier parallel account of Hiram's support for David.

1 Chronicles 14:1 parallels 2 Samuel 5:11 — Hiram sends to David with timber and workers, setting the stage for his later contact with Solomon.

2 Chronicles 2:3 records Solomon's message to Hiram, a parallel account of the same event from the other side of the correspondence.
