BRAGADAYJAH 1011
Solomon Gave Twenty Cities to Hiram
Continuing to warn His people Israel, the Lord said: “And at
his house which is high, everyone that passeth it shall be astonished and shall
hiss, and they shall say, do you know why the Lord has done this to the land
and unto this house? And they shall answer themselves and say, because they
forsook the Lord their God who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt
and have taken hold of other gods, and have worshiped them and served them;
therefore the Lord hath brought upon them all this evil.” And it happened that after twenty years when
Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the Lord and the king’s house,
that King Solomon gave Hiram King of Tyre, twenty cities in the land of Galilee
in return for all that Hiram had contributed, cedar and fir trees and gold towards
the building and furnishing of the houses.
And Hiram came out from Tyre to see all the cities which Solomon had
given to him; and he did not like the cities and told the king that he was not
pleased with them; so he called the name of the land wherein were the cities
the land of Cabul which name remained.
