Hi,
"Great and small are equal before Gd. Betzalel was from Yehudah [the royal tribe] and Ahaliav was from Dan [a tribe of lesser standing], and one was paired with the other [to build the mishkan].
"R’ Chanina said: Great and small are equal… The Mishkan was created by these two tribes. So was the Beit haMikdash – Solomon from Yehudah, with Chiram, 'the son of a widow from the tribe of Naftali.'"
(Midrash, Sh'mot Rabbah 40:4)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
