2 Chronicles 8:18
_ _ Huram sent him ... ships — either sent him ship-men, able seamen, overland; or, taking the word “sent” in a looser sense, supplied him, that is, built him ships — namely, in docks at Eloth (compare 1 Kings 9:26, 1 Kings 9:27). This navy of Solomon was manned by Tyrians, for Solomon had no seamen capable of performing distant expeditions. The Hebrew fishermen, whose boats plied on the Sea of Tiberias or coasted the shores of the Mediterranean, were not equal to the conducting of large vessels laden with valuable cargoes on long voyages and through the wide and unfrequented ocean.
_ _ four hundred and fifty talents of gold — (Compare 1 Kings 9:28). The text in one of these passages is corrupt. |
2 Chronicles 8:18
And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and took thence (k) four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought [them] to king Solomon.
(k) Which is thought to amount to 3,600,000 crowns, for here mention is made of 30 more than are spoken of, (1 Kings 9:28). |
1 Kings 9:27- 28 And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon. ... And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought [ it] to king Solomon.
1 Kings 10:22 For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

- Huram:
2 Chronicles 9:10 And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, which brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.
2 Chronicles 9:13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold;

- Ophir:
- Conjectures respecting the situation of Ophir are endless. Grotius conjectures it to be a part of Arabia called Aphar by Arrian; while Bochart and others have placed it in the island of Ceylon. Calmet supposes it to have been situated in Armenia; but his late editor places it at the head of the Indus. Josephus says that Ophir is the Indies, called the Gold country; by which he is supposed to mean Chersonesus Aurea, now Malacca, opposite Sumatra; and Lev. Poivre observes that the inhabitants of these places call their gold mines ophirs.

- took thence:
Ecclesiastes 2:8 I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, [as] musical instruments, and that of all sorts.
