2 Chronicles 3:6 (King James Version)
And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim.

garnished: Hebrew covered. precious.; 1 Chronicles 29:2 1 Chronicles 29:8 ; Isaiah 54:11 Isaiah 54:12 ; Revelation 21:18-21
Parvaim: Parvaim is supposed by Calmet to be the same as Sepharvaim in Armenia or Media; Bochart is of opinion that it is Taprobanes, now the island of Ceylon, which he drives from {taph,} a border, and Parvan, i; e., "the coast of Parvan;" but the late Editor of Calmet thinks it the same as the Parvatoi mountains of Ptolemy, at the head of the Indus.
