In this as in many other circumstances, we should steer towards that from which They try to steer us away. Wiki takes pains to say:

In the Masonic drama, "Hiram, King of Tyre" is clearly distinguished from "Hiram Abiff". The former is clearly a king and the latter clearly a master craftsman.

But why would they make such a fine distinction with Hiram I, as if they are just so many Hirams floating around involved in constructing temples?

Is it because Hiram I's father was Abibaal ("My father is Baal") and his son was Baal-Eser I ("Baal is pre-eminent")? Notice anything familiar about those names?

The truth is not well-hidden, frens, but we must still pull back the curtain ourselves.
