Verse 48
Ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold - In the parallel place ( 2 Chronicles 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 1 Kings 9:26-28 ; (note); 1 Kings 10:11 ; (note), 1 Kings 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.
