2 Chronicles 8:17

8:17 Then Solomon went to Ezion Geber and to Elat on the coast in the land of Edom.

2 Chronicles 20:36

20:36 They agreed ¹  to make large seagoing merchant ships; ²  they built the ships in Ezion Geber.

[20:36]  ¹ tn Heb “he made an alliance with him.”

[20:36]  ² tn Heb “make ships to go to Tarshish.” This probably refers to large ships either made in or capable of traveling to the distant western port of Tarshish; a “Tarshish-ship” was essentially a large seagoing merchant ship.
