Probably meaning displeasing,

1. A name given by Hiram king of Tyre to a district in Northern Galilee containing twenty cities, which Solomon gave him for his help in building the temple, 1 Kings 9:13; the term implying his dissatisfaction with the gift.

2. A city of Asher, Joshua 19:27.

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).

One of the landmarks on the boundary of Asher, (Joshua 19:27) now Kabul , 9 or 10 miles east of Accho . Name of the land given to Hiram by Solomon. (1 Kings 9:10-13)
