Cabul] Some think this not to be a city, but a countrey, containing in it twenty cities, which Solomon gave to Hiram, 1 Kings 9:11. and the rather, because he reckoneth here but two and twenty cities; whereas, if this were one, there should be three and twenty. But yet it seemeth that that Cabul was so first called by Hiram, on that occasion, because it was displeasing, or dirty; or therefore displeasing, because dirty. Besides, that Cabul was not a part of the land of promise, but some place adjoyning to it; for otherwise it had been unlawfull for Solomon to alienate it, by giving it to a stranger.
