cabul - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Cabul
  how little! as nothing. (1.) A town on the eastern border of
  Asher (Josh. 19:27), probably one of the towns given by Solomon
  to Hiram; the modern Kabul, some 8 miles east of Accho, on the
  very borders of Galilee.
  
    (2.) A district in the north-west of Galilee, near to Tyre,
  containing twenty cities given to Hiram by Solomon as a reward
  for various services rendered to him in building the temple (1
  Kings 9:13), and as payment of the six score talents of gold he
  had borrowed from him. Hiram gave the cities this name because
  he was not pleased with the gift, the name signifying "good for
  nothing." Hiram seems afterwards to have restored these cities
  to Solomon (2 Chr. 8:2).
