1 Kings 9:10-14

New King James Version

Solomon and Hiram Exchange Gifts

¹⁰ Now ^(A)it happened at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the Lord and the king’s house ^11 (B)(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?” ^(C)And he called them the land of ^[a]Cabul, as they are to this day. ¹⁴ Then Hiram sent the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold.
