Solomon’s Many Achievements
17Later Solomon went to Ezion-geber and Elath, ports along the shore of the Red Sea in the land of Edom. 18Hiram sent him ships commanded by his own officers and manned by experienced crews of sailors. These ships sailed to Ophir with Solomon’s men and brought back to Solomon almost seventeen tons of gold.
