Bonaim.
More correctly bonim, plural of bonai, meaning builder (see I Kings 5:18), a grade of workman probably inferior to the gibolim or stone squarers at the building of King Solomon’s Temple. Probably by confusion and misspelling the Gothic Legends sometimes called Hiram Abif Benaim. The bonaim are mentioned in Anderson’s Constitutions of 1723 and of 1738.
