    Cabul

    King Solomon entered into an agreement with the king of Tyre for raising funds for building the Temple and his palace. He palmed off twenty cities in the land of Galilee, which were' good for nothing' and received a loan of six score talents of gold. When King Hiram came to visit the lands, he was displeased and called them Cabul meaning 'nothingness'.

    In order to pay him back King Solomon however raised a levy. On "all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel."(1 Ki.9:29-30). This heavy burden creates a sequence events on which the kingdom would split as God had foreseen.

    What made them 'the land of Cabul' but disobedience? (De.20:17) The disobedience of Israel was towards Jesus Christ is the heir of all things. The Spirit therefore uses the expression unto this day' 'And he (Hiram) called them the land of Cabul unto this day(v.12)'.

    How wise was King Solomon? " For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." (1 Co.1:19) Have we not seen the movers and shakers of this world shortchange the rights of the marginalized people but what does Jesus say,"Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven"? (Matt.5:10)
