Monkey
Monkey. Monkeys are not native to Palestine. So King Solomon apparently had them imported from other nations, along with apes and other exotic goods such as ivory, silver, and gold. They may have come from India, Africa, or even parts of Lower Egypt. The NKJV has “monkeys” in (1Ki 10:22) and (2Ch 9:21). Other versions translate as “peacocks.” Also see Ape.
