1 Kings 10:28

10:28 Solomon acquired his horses from Egypt ¹  and from Que; the king’s traders purchased them from Que.

Isaiah 19:9

19:9 Those who make clothes from combed flax will be embarrassed;

those who weave will turn pale. ² 

Ezekiel 27:7

27:7 Fine linen from Egypt, woven with patterns, was used for your sail

to serve as your banner;

blue and purple from the coastlands of Elishah ³  was used for your deck’s awning.

[10:28]  ¹ sn From Egypt. Because Que is also mentioned, some prefer to see in vv. 28-29 a reference to Mutsur. Que and Mutsur were located in Cilicia/Cappadocia (in modern southern Turkey). See HALOT 625 s.v. מִצְרַיִם.

[19:9]  ² tn BDB 301 s.v. חוֹרִי suggests the meaning “white stuff” for חוֹרִי (khori); the Qumran scroll 1QIsa^a has חָוֵרוּ (khaveru), probably a Qal perfect, third plural form of חוּר, (khur, “be white, pale”). See HALOT 299 s.v. I חור. The latter reading is assumed in the translation above.

[27:7]  ³ sn This is probably a reference to Cyprus.
