¹⁷ Then went Solomon to Eziongeber, and to Eloth, at the sea side in the land of Edom.

²² He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.

⁸ And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.

³⁶ And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Eziongaber.

⁶ At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drave the Jews from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there unto this day.

⁴⁸ Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Eziongeber.

²⁶ And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom.

²⁷ And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.

³⁵ And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Eziongaber.
