9:13Hiram asked,22 “Why did you give me these cities, my friend23?” He called that area the region of Cabul, a name which it has retained to this day.24
Footnotes
- 22 Heb “and he said.”
- 23 Heb “my brother.” Kings allied through a parity treaty would sometimes address each other as “my brother.” See 1 Kgs 20:32–33.
- 24 Heb “he called them the land of Cabul to this day.” The significance of the name is unclear, though it appears to be disparaging. The name may be derived from a root, attested in Akkadian and Arabic, meaning “bound” or “restricted.” Some propose a wordplay, pointing out that the name “Cabul” sounds like a Hebrew phrase meaning, “like not,” or “as good as nothing.”
