Legends contained in the rituals of Freemasonry indicate that the origins of the Masonic fraternity date back to the construction of the Temple of King Solomon, as described in the Bible. Because the size of this undertaking was so vast, a new form of organization was required to ensure that the Temple was completed in a timely and correct manner. This led to the development of an organization of stonemasons and architects into various grades and classes. Many of the characters mentioned in the books of Kings and Chronicles in the Hebrew Scriptures are encountered in the context of various degrees of Masonry; they include King Solomon himself, Hiram (King of Tyre, who supplied many of the materials, especially cedar wood, used to construct the temple), Adoniram, and others.
