a certain kind of wood, mentioned 1 Kings 10:11; 2 Chronicles 2:8; 2 Chronicles 9:10-11 . Jerom and the Vulgate render it, ligna thyina, and the Septuagint ξυλα πελεκητα , wrought wood. Several critics understand it to mean gummy wood; but a wood abounding in resin must be very unfit for the uses to which this is said to be applied. Celsus queries if it be not the sandal; but Michaelis thinks the particular species of wood to be wholly unknown to us. Dr. Shaw supposes that the almug tree was the cypress; and he observes that the wood of this tree is still used in Italy and other places for violins, harpsichords, and other stringed instruments.
