열왕기상 9:13의 주석
וַיֹּ֕אמֶר מָ֚ה הֶעָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה אֲשֶׁר־נָתַ֥תָּה לִּ֖י אָחִ֑י וַיִּקְרָ֤א לָהֶם֙ אֶ֣רֶץ כָּב֔וּל עַ֖ד הַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ (פ)
이르기를 나의 형이여 내게 준 이 성읍들이 이러하뇨 하고 이름하여 가불 땅이라 하였더니 그 이름이 오늘까지 있으니라
Rashi on I Kings
The land of Kovul. A land of chains, [i.e.,] a marshland into which the foot sinks and is entrapped.11It was as troublesome to walk on, as it is difficult for a man who is chained in shackles to walk, i.e., the foot is trapped as if it were in a chain [=כבל]—Radak. The land was not fertile. Alternatively, the people of כבל wore chains of silver and gold, i.e., they were wealthy and spoiled, and Chirom did not want to deal with them. See Maseches Shabbos 54a and Rashi there.
