Adam Clarke Bible Commentary

1 Kings 9:26

Verse 1 Kings 9:26. 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.
