And it came to pass, at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, - the house of Yahweh, and the house of the king;

Hiram king of Tyre having supplied Solomon with timber of cedar, and with timber of fir, and with gold, according to all his desire, that, then, King Solomon gave unto Hiram twenty cities, in the land of Galilee.

And Hiram came out from Tyre to view the cities which, Solomon, had given him, - and they were not pleasing in his eyes.

So he said - What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them, Unfruitful Land, as they are called unto this day.

Now Hiram had sent to the king, - a hundred and twenty talents of gold.
