2 CHRONICLES 9:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, which brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.”
And the king made from the algum wood supports for the house of the LORD and for the king's house, and lyres and harps for the singers; there never was seen such beautiful wood in the land of Judah — Solomon used the precious algum wood for temple and palace furnishings (מִשְׁעֲנוֹת, supports/props), and musical instruments (נְבָלִים וְכִנּוֹרוֹת). The wood was unparalleled in beauty. The artistic deployment of exotic materials testified to Solomon's aesthetic vision.
