1 Reis 10:12 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 10:12

And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house
of the Lord, and for the king's house
Or terraces, as in ( 2 Chronicles 9:11 ) , causeways; and means the ascent or causeway he made from his own house to the temple; the pavement of which, as Jarchi interprets the word here, was made of the wood of these trees; or the supports of it, or rather the rails on each side, on which men might stay themselves as they passed along, as Ben Gersom; and since this ascent was admired by the queen of Sheba, it is particularly observed what wood it was made of, and from whence it came:

harps also, and psalteries for singers;
these musical instruments were made of the same wood; Josephus F9 says of amber, and that their number was 400,000:

there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day;
not in the land of Israel, neither before nor since, see ( 2 Chronicles 9:11 ) .

12 Desta madeira de almugue fez e rei balaústres para a casa do Senhor, e para a casa de rei, como também harpas e alaúdes para os cantores; não se trouxe nem se viu mais tal madeira de almugue, até o dia de hoje.
13 E o rei salomão deu � rainha de Sab� tudo o que ela desejou, tudo quanto pediu, além de que lhe dera espontaneamente, da sua munificência real. Então voltou e foi para a sua terra, ela e os seus servos.
14 Ora, o peso do ouro que se trazia a Salomão cada ano era de seiscentos e sessenta e seis talentos de ouro,
