1 Kings 9:10–14, “And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD, and the king’s house, (Now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire,) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee. And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not. And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto this day. And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.”
At the end of all the building, Hiram king of Tyre, wanted Solomon to finalise the contract that they had made concerning building materials for the Temple and Solomon’s palace. Solomon had promised Hiram some territory in addition to the other supplies. Hiram didn’t like the land and the cities that Solomon gave him to fulfil the contract. Hiram complained but there wasn’t much else that he could do for Solomon already had all the building materials. Hiram also sent Solomon a large amount of gold as well.
