1 Kings 9:11-14

1 Kings 9:11-14 NCV

At that time King Solomon gave twenty towns in Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, because Hiram had helped with the buildings. Hiram had given Solomon all the cedar, pine, and gold he wanted. So Hiram traveled from Tyre to see the towns Solomon had given him, but when he saw them, he was not pleased. He asked, “What good are these towns you have given me, my brother?” So he named them the Land of Cabul, and they are still called that today. Hiram had sent Solomon about nine thousand pounds of gold.
