11 a(Hiram the king of Tyre had supplied Solomon with cedar and cypress and gold, as much as he desired), that King Solomon then gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
12 Then Hiram went from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him, but they did not please him.
13 So he said, “What kind of cities are these which you have given me, my brother?” aAnd he called them the land of1 Cabul, as they are to this day.
14 Then Hiram sent the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold.
Solomon’s Additional Achievements
15 And this is the reason for athe labor force which King Solomon raised: to build the house of the Lord, his own house,1 the bMillo, the wall of Jerusalem, cHazor, dMegiddo, and eGezer.
