1 Re 9:12 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 9:12

And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon
had given him
For these cities, being in or near Galilee, were not far from Tyre:

and they pleased him not;
being either out of repair, as some think; see ( 2 Chronicles 8:2 ) or the ground barren, and unfruitful; which is not likely, being in a very fruitful country, as the tribes on which they bordered were: but they were not agreeable to him, they did not suit with the disposition of him and his people, who were given not to husbandry, but to merchandise; and the land about these would require a good deal of pains and labour to till, which they were not used to.

1 Re 9:12 In-Context

10 ORA in capo de’ venti anni, ne’ quali Salomone edificò le due case, la Casa del Signore, e la casa reale,
11 Hiram, re di Tiro, avendo fatto presente a Salomone di legname di cedro, e d’abete, e d’oro, ad ogni suo piacere, il re Salomone allora gli diede venti città nel paese di Galilea.
12 Ed Hiram uscì di Tiro, per veder le città che Salomone gli avea date; ma non gli piacquero.
13 E disse: Che città son queste che tu mi hai date, fratel mio? E le chiamò: Il paese di Cabul. E questo nome è restato loro fino a questo giorno.
14 Or Hiram avea mandato al re centoventi talenti d’oro.
