1 Kings

1 Kings 10:11–12

11(The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir also brought from Ophir a great cargo of almugc wood and precious stones. 12The king made the almug wood into steps for the house of the LORD and for the king’s palace, and into lyres and harps for the singers. Never before had such almug wood been brought in, nor has such been seen again to this day.)

Footnotes

  • c 10:11 Almug is probably a variant of algum; also in verse 12; see 2 Chronicles 2:8|2CH 2:8.
