1 Kings22:48
Ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold - In the parallel place (2Chr 20:36) it is said that Jehoshaphat joined himself to Ahaziah, to make ships to go to Tharshish; and they made the ships in Ezion-geber. Concerning these places, and the voyage thither, see the notes on 1Kgs 9:26-28 (note); 1Kgs 10:11 (note), 1Kgs 10:22 (note). Some translate, instead of ships of Tharshish, ships of burden. See Houbigant, who expresses himself doubtful as to the meaning of the word.
