At the end of twenty years, during which Solomon built these two buildings--the temple of the LORD and the royal palace-- King Solomon gave twenty towns in Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, because Hiram had supplied him with all the cedar and pine and gold he wanted. So this was payment, this was his pay. "I'm going to give you twenty cities." But when Hiram went from Tyre to see the towns that Solomon had given him, he was not pleased with them. "What kind of towns are these you have given me, my brother?" he asked. And he called them the Land of Cabul, a name they have to this day. You know what Cabul means? Worthlessness. Maybe swamp land or flood land, a bad place. No good. He cheated Hiram. But Hallelujah that's were Jesus came from a good for nothing land to save good for nothing people like us if we would just repent and believe the gospel that he brought.

The Sea of Galilee(Lake Kinneret) lies in the Northern District of Israel. It is fed by the Jorden river and several underground springs. Lake Kinneret is about 33 miles long and 8 miles wide. It does not have storms any more than average lakes. However, since it sits in a valley, the lake can be prone to somewhat higer winds at times.

AnswerA large-scale map shows the Sea of Galilee (also known as Lake Tiberias) as being an irregularly shaped, fresh-water lake, approximately 12km at its widest, and roughly 21 km (~ 13 miles) north to south. In the third century, Porphyry described the Sea of Galilee: "Experts in the truth of these places report that there is no sea there, though they do refer to a small, river-fed lake at the foot of the mountains in Galilee near the city Tiberius, a lake easily traversed in small canoes in no more than two hours and insufficiently capacious for waves or storms."

What is the landscape like around Galilee?

West Bank

Palestine is made of numerous rugged hills with relatively arable land. The Judean and Samarian Highlands form a central backbone that runs through Jerusalem and makes the country difficult to traverse. The slopes in the east of the territory, along the Jordan River, drop precipitously to meat the below-sea-level-river.

Overall, it is relatively sandy (if compared to America), but it is much more verdant than much of the Middle East. because of the local Jordan River and rainy season in the winter.

Gaza Strip

The Gaza Strip is completely flat and urban with a number of ports along the Mediterranean cost. It is much less green than the West Bank and the high population density has led to a lack of major agriculture in the area. The water is relatively polluted, especially the sea off of the coast.
