26 And Solomon made a ship in Ezion-Geber, which is with Eloth, upon the lip of the sea of sedge in the land of Edom. 27 And Hiram will send in the ships his servants, men of ships, knowing the sea with Solomon's servants. 28 And they will come to Ophir, and take gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and bring to king Solomon.
