10. It took Solomon twenty years to build the LORD'S Temple and his own royal palace. At the end of that time, 11. he gave twenty towns in the land of Galilee to King Hiram of Tyre. (Hiram had previously provided all the cedar and cypress timber and gold that Solomon had requested.) 12. But when Hiram came from Tyre to see the towns Solomon had given him, he was not at all pleased with them. 13. "What kind of towns are these, my brother?" he asked. So Hiram called that area Cabul (which means "worthless"), as it is still known today. 14. Nevertheless, Hiram paid Solomon 9,000 pounds of gold. 1 Kings 9:10-14 NLT 4. Thank you for coming today.

What is the thing I’m to learn from this. Solomon was a king given to us to understand wisdom. He was not always wise but I’d think this had some significance in some way. That way and reason is unclear to me at this time. Were the towns really worthless? Why did he pay Solomon when Solomon was basically paying him for the products Hirum had given for use in the Temple. Doe this have something to do with not looking a gift horse in the mouth mentality???? I don’t know.
