1 Kings 9:10-12

Amplified Bible

Cities Given to Hiram

¹⁰ Now at the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the two houses, the temple of the Lord and the palace of the king ¹¹ (Hiram king of Tyre had supplied Solomon with as much cedar and cypress timber [from Lebanon] and gold as he desired), at that time King Solomon gave Hiram ^[a]twenty cities in the land of Galilee (northern Israel). ¹² So Hiram came from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him, and they ^[b]did not please him.
