Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew word כָּבוּל (Cabul) as it is a specific proper noun referring to a location in the Old Testament.

Usage: The term Cabul is used in the context of a geographical location in the Old Testament. It appears in the narrative concerning King Solomon and Hiram, king of Tyre.

Context: Cabul is mentioned in 1 Kings 9:13, where it refers to a district in the land of Galilee. King Solomon gave Hiram, king of Tyre, twenty cities in the land of Galilee as a gesture of gratitude for his assistance in building the temple. However, when Hiram visited the cities, he was displeased with them and called the area "Cabul," which is interpreted as "good for nothing" or "displeasing." This name reflects Hiram's dissatisfaction with the quality or condition of the cities. The exact location of Cabul is not definitively known, but it is generally associated with the region of Galilee, possibly near the border of Phoenicia.
