 Cabul
    how little! as nothing. (1.) A town on the eastern border of
    Asher (Josh. 19:27), probably one of the towns given by Solomon
    to Hiram; the modern Kabul, some 8 miles east of Accho, on the
    very borders of Galilee.
      (2.) A district in the north-west of Galilee, near to Tyre,
    containing twenty cities given to Hiram by Solomon as a reward
    for various services rendered to him in building the temple (1
    Kings 9:13), and as payment of the six score talents of gold he
    had borrowed from him. Hiram gave the cities this name because
    he was not pleased with the gift, the name signifying "good for
    nothing." Hiram seems afterwards to have restored these cities
    to Solomon (2 Chr. 8:2).
