Hiram, the son of Abibal, who died at the age of fifty-three, after a reign of thirty-four years, was the friend of David and Solomon, and furnished the latter with= the materials for the temple at = Jerusalem. His successors were Baleazur, Abdastartus, Astartus, Astarmius, and Phell= es; then came Ithobal, Badezon, Matgenus, and Pygmalion, whose sister, Elisa = or Dido, founded Carthage.
