Cabul.

that is, Displeasing, or dirty.

Josephus says that {Cabul,} in the Phoenician language, signifies [ouk areskon,] displeasing; and that these cities were situated in the neighbourhood of Tyre. Most commentators are persuaded that the city Cabul in the tribe of Asher was one; and probably from this Hiram took occasion to give this name to all the other cities which Solomon had ceded to him.
