This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





The Tyrians were famous for



knowledge of the sea. He sent also ships to join with Solomon’s, 2Ch_8:18; not from Tyre, the famous city of Phoenicia, which was in the midland sea, from whence he could not sail to the Red Sea without fetching a vast compass; but from an island in the Red Sea, called Tyre, because it was a colony of the Tyrians, as Strabo notes.
