22 For the king had a fleet of ships of Tarʹshish+ on the sea along with Hiʹram’s fleet of ships. Once every three years the fleet of ships of Tarʹshish would come carrying gold+ and silver, ivory,+ and apes and peacocks.
18 And Hiʹram+ regularly sent to him by means of his servants ships and servants having a knowledge of the sea,+ and they would come with Solʹo·mon’s servants to Oʹphir+ and take from there four hundred and fifty talents*+ of gold+ and bring it to King Solʹo·mon.+
