FROM THE INTERNET: "K.S.H.T.W.S.S.T.  Meaning Hiram, The Widow's Son Sent to King Solomon or Hiram, Tyrian, Widow's Son, Sendeth to King Solomon but the most popular way for Masons to remember the order of the letter is King Solomon Had Twelve Wives Some Say Twenty. It stands for "Hiram of Tyre, Widow's Son, Sent to King Solomon". Hiram of Tyre is the only stonemason-architect mentioned by name in the Bible (I Kings 7: 13-14 and elsewhere), and was responsible for overseeing the construction of Solomon's Temple."
