.History
Bronze and Iron ages
Cabul is first mentioned as one of the landmarks on the boundary of
King
Archaeological excavations at Khirbet Rosh Zayit, located 2km northeast of modern Kabul, Israel, have revealed an Israelite settlement from the 12th century BCE, and built upon it a Phoenician fortification from the 10th century BCE. The excavator suggests that this is evidence of Solomon's transfer of the area to Tyrian control.[10]
Classical era
Judah and Hillel, sons of R. Gamaliel III, were received as guests in Cabul with great honor and paid a visit to a local bath.[16] It was the home of a Rabbi Zakkai,[17] and was famous for its abundance of wine and oil; it also had a synagogue and public baths. After the fall of Jerusalem, priests of the Shecaniah (Shekhanyah) family settled there.
Middle Ages
In the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem, it was the seat of a seigniory known as Cabor.[12]
Aftermath
In 2010, an archaeological survey of Cabul was conducted by Omar Zidan on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA).[18]
