how little! as nothing.
A town on the eastern border of Asher (Joshua
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.
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
Chronicles 8:2).
