    - of spices.
       * :1 Ge 43:11 Ex 30:34
    - Sheba.
      This queen is called Balkis by the Arabians, who say she came
      from the city of Sheba, also called Mareb, in Yemen or Arabia
      Felix; but the Ethiopians call her Maqueda, claim her as their
      sovereign, and say that her posterity reigned there for a long
      time.  Mr. Bruce has given us the history of her and her
      descendants from Abyssinian records; and Josephus says that
      Sheba was the ancient name of the city of Mero‰, (south of
      Egypt, and sometimes comprehended in Ethiopia,) and that this
      princess came from thence.  Those who think the princess came
      from Arabia, rely chiefly on the fact that gold, silver,
      spices, and precious stones, which were the presents she made
      to Solomon, are the natural products of that country; and that
      it may well be placed at the uttermost part of the earth, as
      it borders on the southern ocean, and formerly they knew no
      land beyond it.
    
    
    VERSE 10 
     - brought gold.  See on ch.
       * 2Ch 8:18 1Ki 9:27,28; 10:22

    VERSE 12

       * :27 Isa 2:22 Jer 31:5
    
    
    VERSE 21 
     - Tarshish.
      Bochart thinks this Tarshish was probably the promontory Cory,
      on the north of the island of Ceylon, which, according to him,
      was the land of Ophir.  That it was name of a place in the
      East Indies, seems probable from the articles brought thence,
      and also from the ships sent thither being built at
      Ezion-geber, on the Red Sea; though Michaelis supposes that
      the fleet coasted along the shore of Africa, doubling the Cape
      of Good Hope, and came to Tartessus, in Spain, and thence back
      again the same way; that this accounts for their three years'
      voyage out and home; and that Spain and the coasts of Africa
      furnish all the commodities which they brought back.
    
    - See on
       * 1Ki 10:22; 22:48
    - Tharshish.  ivory.  or, elephants' teeth.  peacocks.
      {Tukkeeyim} is rendered {taysin} in the Targum, [        ,] in
      the Alexandrian MS. of the LXX., and {pavos,} "peacocks," in
      the Vulgate; with which the Syriac, Arabic, and Rabbins agree.
      This derives confirmation from the fact, that the peacock is
      called in Malabaric, {Togei.}
    
       * Job 39:13
    
    
    VERSE 22 
     - passed all the kings.
       * 2Ch 1:12 1Ki 3:12,13; 4:30,31; 10:23,24 Ps 89:27 Mt 12:42 Col 2:2,3

       * 1Ki 4:21,24 Ps 72:8-11 Da 7:14 Re 19:16
    - river.
      "That is, Euphrates."
    
       * Ge 15:18 Ex 23:31 Jos 13:2-7

       * 1Ch 27:28 Ps 78:47 Isa 9:10 Am 7:14 Lu 19:4
    
    
    VERSE 28 
     - brought.
        "Moses," says Bp. Warburton, "had expressly prohibited the
      multiplying of horses, (De 17:16;) by which the future king
      was forbidden to establish a body of calvary, because this
      could not be effected without sending into Egypt, with which
      people God had forbidden any communication, as this would be
      dangerous to religion.  When Solomon had violated this law,
      and multiplied horses to excess, (1 Ki 26 4:26,) it was soon
      attended with those fatal consequences that the law foretold:
      for this wisest of kings having likewise, in violation of
      another law, married Pharaoh's daughter, (the early fruits of
      this commerce,) and then, by a repetition of the same crime,
      but a transgression of another law, had espoused more strange
      women, (1 Ki 26 4:26; 1 11:1,) they first,in defiance of a fourth
      law, persuaded him to build them idol temples for their use;
      and afterwards, against a fifth law, brought him to erect
      other temples for his own."
