1 Kings 9:13

1Ki 9:13 And he said, What cities [are] these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto this day.

Ver. 13. What cities are these? ] i.e., Quanti putas esse? a How much dost thou hold them worth?

And he called them the land of Cabul, ] i.e., Displeasing or dirty; or, by transposition of a letter, terra canina, a land for my dogs. Oh that we could have as light an esteem of all things here below, looking upon this world as a great dunghill!
