SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:12
Y salió Hiram de Tiro para ver las ciudades que Salomón le había dado, y no le contentaron.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him , etc.] For these cities, being in or near Galilee, were not far from Tyre: and they pleased him not ; being either out of repair, as some think; (see 2 Chronicles 8:2) or the ground barren, and unfruitful; which is not likely, being in a very fruitful country, as the tribes on which they bordered were: but they were not agreeable to him, they did not suit with the disposition of him and his people, who were given not to husbandry, but to merchandise; and the land about these would require a good deal of pains and labour to till, which they were not used to.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-14 - Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities. Hiram did not like them. If Solomo would gratify him, let it be in his own element, by becoming his partner in trade, as he did. See how the providence of God suits thi earth to the various tempers of men, and the dispositions of men to the earth, and all for the good of mankind in general.
