1 Koningen 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 Koningen 9:12 In-Context

10 En het geschiedde ten einde van twintig jaren, in dewelke Salomo die twee huizen gebouwd had, het huis des HEEREN en het huis des konings;
11 (Waartoe Hiram, de koning van Tyrus, Salomo van cederbomen, en van dennenbomen, en van goud, naar al zijn lust opgebracht had), dat alstoen de koning Salomo aan Hiram twintig steden gaf in het land van Galilea.
12 En Hiram toog uit van Tyrus, om de steden te bezien, die Salomo hem gegeven had, maar zij waren niet recht in zijn ogen.
13 Daarom zeide hij: Wat zijn dat voor steden, mijn broeder, die gij mij gegeven hebt? En hij noemde ze het land Kabul, tot op dezen dag.
14 En Hiram had den koning gezonden honderd en twintig talenten gouds.
