Cities Given to Hiram
10 (A)Now it happened that (B)at the end of twenty years in which Solomon had built the two houses, the house of Yahweh and the king’s house 11 (Hiram king of Tyre had supplied Solomon with cedar and cypress timber and gold according to all his desire), that King Solomon then gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee. 12 So Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him, and they were not right in his eyes. 13 And he said, “What are these cities which you have given me, my brother?” So [a]they were called the land of [b](C)Cabul to this day. 14 (D)And Hiram sent to the king [c]120 talents of gold.
