1 Kings 9:27 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Book Notes

1 Kings 9:27

25 ^aNow three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he had built for the Lord, and he burned incense with them on the altar that was before the Lord. So he finished the temple.

26 ^aKing Solomon also built a fleet of ships at ^bEzion Geber, which is near Elath on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.

27 ^aThen Hiram sent his servants with the fleet, seamen who knew the sea, to work with the servants of Solomon.

28 And they went to ^aOphir, and acquired four hundred and twenty talents of gold from there, and brought it to King Solomon.

I & II Kings

THE FIRST AND SECOND BOOKS OF KINGS, in the ancient copies of the Hebrew Bible, constitute one book. Various titles have been given them; in the Septuagint and the Vulgate they are called the Third and Fourth Books of Kings. The authorship of these books is unknown; but the prevailing opinion is that they were compiled by Ezra, or one of the later prophets, from the ancient documents that are so frequently referred to in the course of the history as of public and established authority. Their inspired character was acknowledged by the Jewish Church, which ranked them in the sacred canon; and, besides, it is attested by our Lord, who frequently quotes from them (compare I Kings 17:9; II Kings 5:14 with Luke 4:24-27; I Kings 10:1 with Matthew 12:42).
