The meaning of Ships in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)
early used in foreign commerce by the Phoenicians (Genesis 49:13). Moses (Deuteronomy 28:68) and (Job 9:26) make reference to them, and Balaam speaks of the "ships of Chittim" (Numbers 24:24). Solomon constructed a navy at Ezion-geber by the assistance of Hiram's sailors (I Kings 9:26-28; 2Chr 8:18). Afterwards, Jehoshaphat sought to provide himself with a navy at the same port, but his ships appear to have been wrecked before they set sail (I Kings 22:48,49; 2Chr 20:35-37).
