1 Kings 9:10-14

The Voice

¹⁰ Twenty years passed, and Solomon had constructed the two houses: the temple of the Eternal and the palace of the king. ¹¹ Tyre’s king, Hiram, had given Solomon all the cedar, cypress, and gold he desired for those projects, so Solomon granted Hiram twenty cities in Galilee.

¹² Hiram traveled from Tyre to view the cities Solomon was giving to him, but he was not satisfied.

People still refer to these cities as the land of Cabul, meaning “worthless,” even today.

¹⁴ Hiram gave approximately 9,000 pounds^[a] of gold to Solomon.
