1 Chronicles 29:4

29:4 This includes 3,000 talents ¹  of gold from Ophir and 7,000 talents of refined silver for overlaying the walls of the buildings,

Psalms 45:9

45:9 Princesses ²  are among your honored guests, ³ 

your bride ⁴  stands at your right hand, wearing jewelry made with gold from Ophir. ⁵ 

Isaiah 13:12

13:12 I will make human beings more scarce than pure gold,

and people more scarce ⁶  than gold from Ophir.

[29:4]  ¹ tn See the note on the word “talents” in 19:6. Using the “light” standard talent of 67.3 lbs. (30.6 kg) as the standard for calculation, David had supplied 101 tons (91,800 kg) of gold and 235.5 tons (214,200 kg) of silver.

[45:9]  ² tn Heb “daughters of kings.”

[45:9]  ³ tn Heb “valuable ones.” The form is feminine plural.

[45:9]  ⁴ tn This rare Hebrew noun apparently refers to the king’s bride, who will soon be queen (see Neh 2:6). The Aramaic cognate is used of royal wives in Dan 5:2-3, 23.

[45:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “a consort stands at your right hand, gold of Ophir.”

[13:12]  ⁶ tn The verb is supplied in the translation from the first line. The verb in the first line (“I will make scarce”) does double duty in the parallel structure of the verse.
