1 Kings 9:28
Ophir — A place famous for the plenty and fineness of the gold there. It is agreed, that it was a part of the East — Indies, probably Ceylon, which though very remote from us, yet was far nearer the Red — sea, from whence they might easily sail to it in those ancient times, because they might (according to the manner of those first ages) sail all along near the coast, though the voyage was thereby more tedious, which was the reason why three years were spent in it. And here, and here only were to be had all the commodities which Solomon fetched from Ophir, 1 Kings 10:22. Fetched — In all there came to the king four hundred and fifty talents, whereof it seems thirty talents were allowed to Hiram and his men, and so there were only four hundred and twenty that came clear into the king's treasury. |
