Fleet Prison

A group of ships. Solomon built a fleet of ships at Ezion-Geber with the help of Hiram of Tyre (1 Kings 9:26-27; 1Kings 10:11,1 Kings 10:22 ). The KJV translated fleet as navy or navy of ships. Solomon's fleet was used for commercial rather than military purposes. See Ezion-Geber; Ships, Sailors, and Navigation .
