1 Kings 9:10–13 Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon built these two houses, the house of the LORD and the royal palace, / King Solomon gave twenty towns in the land of Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, who had supplied him with cedar and cypress logs and gold for his every desire. / So Hiram went out from Tyre to inspect the towns that Solomon had given him, but he was not pleased with them.
