Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Eziongeber.

And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom.

And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Eziongeber.

Then went Solomon to Eziongeber, and to Eloth, at the sea side in the land of Edom.
