2 Chronicles 20:36

ships to goto Tarshish In Kings, ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir:cp. 2 Chronicles 9:21 (1 Kings 10:22), note. In both passages the reading of Kings, "ships (or -navy") ofTarshish," i.e. large sea-going ships (cp. Psalms 48:7) is to be preferred, because (1) Ezion-geber was a port for vessels sailing eastward, while Tarshish was in the west, (2) gold, the object of the voyage (cp. 1 Kings 22:48), came from Ophir (2 Chronicles 8:18; 1 Kings 9:28; 1 Kings 10:11; Psalms 45:9).

Tarshish Cp. 1 Chronicles 1:7 (note).

Ezion- geber] Cp. 2 Chronicles 8:17 (note).
