Definitions for 1-kings 9:26
Clarke's 1-kings 9:26 Bible Commentary
A navy of ships - Literally, אני oni, a ship: in the parallel place, 2 Chronicles 8:17, it is said that Hiram sent him אניות oniyoth, ships; but it does not appear that Solomon in this case built more than one ship, and this was manned principally by the Tyrians.
Barnes's 1-kings 9:26 Bible Commentary
On Ezion-geber and Eloth, see the notes to marginal references. As the entire tract about Elath (Akaba) is destitute of trees, it is conjectured that the wood of which Solomon built his fleet was cut in Lebanon, floated to Gaza by sea, and thence conveyed across to Ezion-geber, at the head of the E anitic Gulf, by land carriage. (Compare 2 Chronicles 2:16.)
Wesley's 1-kings 9:26 Bible Commentary
9:26 Made - Not now, but in the beginning of his reign.
