And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly:

For the king had at sea a navy of Tarshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

For the king’s ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: once every three years came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

You break the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.

And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all beautiful vessels.

Surely the coastlands shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your sons from afar, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD your God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he has glorified you.

But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid its fare, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.

And they came to Ophir, and brought from there gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.

Kings' daughters were among your honorable women: at your right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because you have joined yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has broken your works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.

But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with you; for the LORD is not with Israel, not with all the children of Ephraim.

And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion-geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom.

And they departed from Abronah, and encamped at Eziongeber.

And they set out from Eziongeber, and encamped in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.
