Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

1 Kings 10:22, 1 Kings 22:48, Tharshish

Tarshish: Bochart thinks this Tarshish was probably the promontory Cory, on the north of the island of Ceylon, which, according to him, was the land of Ophir. That it was name of a place in the East Indies, seems probable from the articles brought thence, and also from the ships sent thither being built at Ezion-geber, on the Red Sea; though Michaelis supposes that the fleet coasted along the shore of Africa, doubling the Cape of Good Hope, and came to Tartessus, in Spain, and thence back again the same way; that this accounts for their three years' voyage out and home; and that Spain and the coasts of Africa furnish all the commodities which they brought back.

ivory: or, elephants' teeth

peacocks: Tukkeeyim is rendered taysin in the Targum, פבשםשם, in the Alexandrian manuscript of the LXX, and pavos, "peacocks," in the Vulgate; with which the Syriac, Arabic, and Rabbins agree. This derives confirmation from the fact, that the peacock is called in Malabaric, Togei. Job 39:13

Reciprocal: 2 Chronicles 20:37 - to Tarshish Psalms 72:10 - General Isaiah 23:1 - ye ships
