2 CHRONICLES 8:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.”
And Huram sent him, by the hand of his servants, ships and servants who had experience of the sea; and they went to Ophir, and obtained four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought it to King Solomon — Huram provided ships (אֳנִיּוֹת) and experienced sailors (עַבְדִים) to accompany Solomon's expedition to Ophir (אוֹפִיר), a distant land, probably in Arabia or Africa. They returned with 450 talents of gold (about 13.5 tons)—extraordinary wealth. The partnership (Huram and Solomon) pooled maritime expertise and royal resources for distant trade.
