Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 9:26-28

9:26-11:43 OTHER FEATURES OF SOLOMON’S REIGNTrade, fame and wealth (9:26-10:29)Always alert in business dealings, Solomon saw the opportunity for further profits by cooperating with Hiram in trade transport.

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Kings 9:28

Solomon’s navy 9:26-28God blessed Solomon with an effective navy that brought added wealth from the south and the east. Ophir (1 Kings 9:28) evidently was in southeast Arabia (modern Oman and or the United Arab Emirates; 1 Kings 10:11; Job 22:24; Job 28:16). Other less likely sites that various scholars have proposed are southwest Arabia (modern Yemen), Somaliland (Somalia), and Supara in India.The writer documented in this section further evidence of God’s blessing on Solomon that came to him... read more

(27) Shipmen that had knowledge of the sea.—The Tyrians were known far and wide as the great sailors both of the Mediterranean and the seas beyond it, till they were rivalled and superseded by their own colonists in Carthage and by the Greeks. How greatly their seamanship, their commerce, and their civilisation impressed the imagination of Israel, is shown in the magnificent chapters of Ezekiel on the fate of Tyre (Ezekiel 26-28). The Israelites, on the contrary, had but little care for the... read more

(28) Ophir.—All that can be certainly gathered from the mention of Ophir in the Old Testament is, first; that it was situated to the east of Palestine and approached by the Red Sea (as is clear from this passage, from 1 Kings 22:48, and from 2 Chronicles 8:18; 2 Chronicles 9:10), and next, that so famous was the gold imported from it, that the “gold of Ophir” became proverbial (Job 22:24; Job 28:16; Psalms 45:10; Isaiah 13:12; 1 Chronicles 4:0; 1 Chronicles 4:0).
