13 And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto this day.

my brother 1Ki 5:1,2 Am 1:9

Cabul, that is, Displeasing, or dirty Josephus says that Cabul, in the Phoenician language, signifies (); displeasing; and that these cities were situated in the neighbourhood of Tyre. Most commentators are persuaded that the city {Cabul} in the tribe of Asher was one; and probably from this Hiram took occasion to give this name to all the other cities which Solomon had ceded to him. Jos 19:27

14 And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.

Gezer 1Ki 9:16,17 Jos 10:33 16:10 21:21 Jud 1:29 1Ch 6:67 20:4
