Chapter 9 of [[1 Kings]] states that [[Solomon]] rewarded his [[Phoenicia]]n ally, [[King Hiram I]] of [[Sidon]], with twenty cities in the land of Galilee, which would then have been either settled by foreigners during and after the reign of Hiram, or by those who had been forcibly deported there by later conquerors such as the [[Assyria]]ns. Hiram, to reciprocate previous gifts given to [[David]], accepted the upland plain among the Naftali Mountains and renamed it "the land of [[Cabul]]" for a time.<ref name=Phoenicia>Rawlinson, George (1889).
