1 Kings 9:26-28

International Children’s Bible

²⁶ Solomon also built ships at Ezion Geber. This town is near Elath. It is on the shore of the Gulf of Aqaba, in the land of Edom. ²⁷ King Hiram had sailors who knew much about the sea. So he sent them to serve in Solomon’s ships with Solomon’s men. ²⁸ Solomon’s ships sailed to Ophir. From there they brought back about 32,000 pounds of gold to King Solomon.
