NETBible

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

NET Notes

1 tn Heb “he made an alliance with him.”

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.
