1 Kings22:48
48 Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Ezion-geber .
As it is expressed, 2 Chron. 20. 36. Or, there were to Iehoshaphat ten ships: the Ellipsis of the Verb Substantive, and of the Praefix Lamed, being frequent in the Hebrew Language. Some render the Words, he made ten ships; so joyning both Texts together, and out of both compleating the sence.
Either, 1. Of the Sea, as this Word is thought sometimes to be used. Or, rather 2. To go to Tarshish, (as it is expressed, 2 Chron. 20. 36.) and then[illegible: 1+ letters]e [illegible: 1 word] Ophir, as it here follows. See more on 1 King. 10. [illegible: 1 word].
Of which, See 1 King. 9. 28.
Which was in Edom, and consequently in Iehoshaphat's Territories.
Marginal references: Or, had ten ships.
