36<\/strong>. ships to go<\/em> to Tarshish<\/em> ] In Kings, ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir:<\/em> cp. 2Ch 9:21<\/span> (= 1Ki 10:22<\/span>), note. In both passages the reading of Kings, “ships (or ‘navy’) of<\/em> Tarshish,” i.e. large sea-going ships (cp. Psa 48:7<\/span>) is to be preferred, because (1) Ezion-geber was a port for vessels sailing eastward, while Tarshish was in the west, (2) gold, the object of the voyage (cp. 1Ki 22:48<\/span>), came from Ophir (2Ch 8:18<\/span>; 1Ki 9:28<\/span>; 1Ki 10:11<\/span>; Psa 45:9<\/span>).<\/p>\n Tarshish<\/em> ] Cp. 1Ch 1:7<\/span> (note).<\/p>\n Ezion<\/em> – geber<\/strong> ] Cp. 2Ch 8:17<\/span> (note).<\/p>\n Verse 36<\/span>.

Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships; and Jehoshaphat consented not. There is no mention of a previous alliance and partnership in the ship-building with Ahaziah. Moreover, the expression of our text, ships to go to Tarshish, appears to be an erroneous paraphrase of ships of Tarshish, or Tarshish-men,<\/em> as we might say; a phrase which really means, vessels built for long sea-voyages. According to Kings, the ships were built to go to Ophir for gold; in other words, to renew Solomons traffic with India from the port on the Red Sea.<\/p>\n And<\/strong> they made the<\/strong> ships in Ezion-gaber.<\/strong>The Edomite port at the head of the Gulf of Akaba. If Tarshish means the Phoenician Tartessus in Spain, the fleet could only go thither by doubling the Cape, or crossing the Isthmus of Suez. Therefore some have supposed another Tarshish somewhere in the Persian Gulf or on the north-west coast of India. (See on 2Ch. 9:21<\/span>.)<\/p>\n 2Ch 20:36 And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Eziongeber.<\/p>\n Ver. 36. And he joined himself.<\/strong> ] See 1Ki 22:48-49<\/span> .<\/p>\n to make ships to go to Tarshish. This was prior to the similar event recorded in 1Ki 22:48, 1Ki 22:49, where he made (himself) “Tarshish ships to go to Ophir”. Ahaziah again sought to implicate Jehoshaphat. But he failed in the attempt, for we there read “Jehoshaphat would not” (2Ch 20:49). And the ships “did not go”, for they were “broken” (2Ch 20:48). The marginal note in Authorized Version is neither correct nor necessary. <\/p>\n And he joined: “At first Jehoshaphat was unwilling, 1Ki 22:28, 1Ki 22:49.” <\/p>\n Tarshish: “Tarsos in the great sea,” says the Targumist, by which is meant a a place in the Mediterranean, called the Great Sea by the Hebrews.
