1. Asherite town near Mt Carmel on the border between Israel and Tyre (Jos 19:27).

2. Territory given to Hiram, king of Tyre, by Solomon in exchange for a gift of 120 talents (9,000 pounds, 4 metric tons) of gold for completion of the temple. Hiram, not impressed with this northern Galilean province (1 Kgs 9:13-14), later returned it to Solomon (2 Chr 8:2).
