Commentary on 1 Kings 9:12

Theological / Devotional

Pleased him not. Hiram probably had cast his eyes on the bay of Accho, or on some rich grain lands, and was disappointed when he received a group of inferior inland towns. It seems that Hiram refused Solomon’s gift, and never even took possession of the cities.
