The skeptic's confusion:

Hyram was of the tribe of Naphtali.

"Hyram ... was a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali." 1 Kings 7:13-14

Hyram was of the tribe of Dan.

"Hyram ... the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan." 2 Chronicles 2:13-14

Explanation:

Huram’s father was a man of Tyre, and his mother was an Israelite. It is likely that one parent of his mother was a Naphtalite, and the other parent was a Danite.

"And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days... Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel. Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward. I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD." Genesis 49: 1, 16-18
