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.

Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Ezion-geber.

Then went Solomon to Ezion-geber, and to Eloth, at the sea side in the land of Edom.

And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Ezion-geber.
