Cun was the city of Hadadezer from which David took bronze, corresponding to Berothai in Samuel. It is important because it preserves another variant name in the memory of David's northern victories. First appears in 1 Chr 18:8.1
AI summary: Cun matters because conquest traditions can preserve the same place under different names in parallel accounts. The city belongs to the campaign world that supplied material wealth later tied to the temple.1
One of the cities of Hadarezer, king of Syria. David procured brass (i.e., bronze or copper) from it for the temple (1 Chr. 18:8). It is called Berothai in 2 Sam. 8:8; probably the same as Berothah in Ezek. 47:16. 3
