CABUL

(Heb. kāḇûl)

1. A border town located in the territory of Asher (Josh. 19:27). It is generally associated with the modern Arab town of Kabul (170252) in lower Galilee, ca. 16 km. (10 mi.) SE of Acre. Cabul is the only ancient eastern border town in the territory of the tribe of Asher that retains the same name today.

2. A district in Galilee consisting of 20 towns that was given to Hiram of Tyre by Solomon as remuneration for cedar, cypress timber, and gold (1 Kgs. 9:13). The name Cabul (“unpleasant” or “unfruitful”) connoted Hiram’s displeasure with the area, although the precise meaning of the word is not known. According to an alternate version of the story, it was Solomon who received the towns from Hiram (2 Chr. 8:2), but the version in 1 Kings is considered more authentic.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
