1 Kings 9:10-13

10At the end of twenty years, during which Solomon built these two buildings—the temple of the Lord and the royal palace—

11King Solomon gave twenty towns in Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, because Hiram had supplied him with all the cedar and juniper and gold he wanted.

12But when Hiram went from Tyre to see the towns that Solomon had given him, he was not pleased with them.

13“What kind of towns are these you have given me, my brother?” he asked. And he called them the Land of Kabul, a name they have to this day.
