From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Cabul
     how little! as nothing. (1.) A town on the eastern border of
     Asher (Josh. 19:27), probably one of the towns given by Solomon
     to Hiram; the modern Kabul, some 8 miles east of Accho, on the
     very borders of Galilee.
     


       (2.) A district in the north-west of Galilee, near to Tyre,
     containing twenty cities given to Hiram by Solomon as a reward
     for various services rendered to him in building the temple (1
     Kings 9:13), and as payment of the six score talents of gold he
     had borrowed from him. Hiram gave the cities this name because
     he was not pleased with the gift, the name signifying "good for
     nothing." Hiram seems afterwards to have restored these cities
     to Solomon (2 Chr. 8:2).
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
