Jehoshaphat:
"And afterª this¹ did Jehoshaphatª kingª of Judahª join² ° himself¹ with¹ Ahaziahª kingª of Israel,ª who¹ did² ° very wickedly:ª °¹ ... Now Jehoshaphatª sleptª ° with¹ his fathers,ª and was buriedª ° with¹ his fathersª in the cityª of David.ª And Jehoramª his sonª reignedª ° in his stead.¹" {2Ch 20:35-21:1}

made ships:
or, had ten ships, "For¹ the kingª had at seaª a navyª of Tharshishª with¹ the navyª of Hiram:ª onceª in threeª yearsª cameª ° the navyª of Tharshish,ª bringingª ° gold,ª and silver,ª ivory,ª and apes,ª and peacocks.ª" {1Kg 10:22} + "For¹ the king'sª shipsª wentª ° to Tarshishª with¹ the servantsª of Huram:ª every threeª yearsª onceª cameª ° the shipsª of Tarshishª bringingª ° gold,ª and silver,ª ivory,ª and apes,ª and peacocks.ª" {2Ch 9:21} + "Thou breakestª ° the shipsª of Tarshishª with an eastª wind.ª" {Psa 48:7} + "And upon¹ all¹ the shipsª of Tarshish,ª and upon¹ all¹ pleasantª pictures.ª" {Isa 2:16} + "Surely¹ the islesª shall waitª ° for me, and the shipsª of Tarshishª first,ª to bringª ° thy sonsª from far,ª ¹ their silverª and their goldª with¹ them, unto the nameª of the LORDª thy God,ª and to the Holy Oneª of Israel,ª because¹ he hath glorifiedª ° thee." {Isa 60:9} + "But Jonahª rose upª ° to fleeª ° unto Tarshishª from the presenceª ¹ of the LORD,ª and went downª ° to Joppa;ª and he foundª ° a shipª goingª ° to Tarshish:ª so he paidª ° the fareª thereof, and went downª ° into it, to goª ° with¹ them unto Tarshishª from the presenceª ¹ of the LORD.ª" {Jna 1:3}

Tharshish:
Josephus and the Chaldee and Arabic paraphrasts explain this place of Tarsus in Cilicia; the LXX, Theodoret, and Jerome, understand it of Carthage; but the learned Bochart makes it Tartessus, an island in the straits of Gades. Ibn Haukal describes Tarsousa as belonging to Andalus, or Andalusia; and Festus Avienus expressly says, Hic Gadir urbs est dicta Tartessus prius, "the city Cadiz was formerly called Tartessus."

to Ophir:
"And they cameª ° to Ophir,ª and fetchedª ° from thence¹ ¹ gold,ª fourª hundredª and twentyª talents,ª and broughtª ° [it] to¹ kingª Solomon.ª" {1Kg 9:28} + "Kings'ª daughtersª [were] among thy honourable¹ women:² upon thy right handª did standª ° the queenª in goldª of Ophir.ª" {Psa 45:9}

they went not:
"Then Eliezerª the sonª of Dodavahª of Mareshahª ¹ prophesiedª ° against¹ Jehoshaphat,ª saying,ª ° Because thou hast joined² ° thyself¹ with¹ Ahaziah,ª the LORDª hath brokenª °¹ thy works.ª And the shipsª were broken,ª ° that they were not ableª °¹ to go² °¹ to¹ Tarshish.ª" {2Ch 20:37} + "But there cameª ° a manª of Godª to¹ him, saying,ª ° O king,ª let not¹ the armyª of Israelª goª ° with¹ thee; for¹ the LORDª [is] not¹ with¹ Israel,ª [to wit, with] all¹ the childrenª of Ephraim.ª" {2Ch 25:7}

Eziongeber:
"And kingª Solomonª madeª ° a navy of shipsª in Eziongeber,ª which¹ [is] beside¹ Eloth,ª on¹ the shoreª of the Redª sea,ª in the landª of Edom.ª" {1Kg 9:26} + "And they departedª ° from Ebronah,ª ¹ and encampedª ° at Eziongaber.ª ... And they removedª ° from Eziongaber,ª ¹ and pitchedª ° in the wildernessª of Zin,ª which¹ [is] Kadesh.ª" {Num 33:35-36}
