Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

Ezion-gaber		Dr. Shaw places this port on the western shore of the Elanitic gulf of the Red Sea. He says it is now called Meenah el Dsahab, or the golden port, by the Arabs; because it was from this place that Solomon sent his ships to Ophir. He supposes it to be about sixty miles from Sinai; and it is probable that it was near the present Accaba, i.e., the end (of the sea). Num 14:25; Deu 2:8; 1Ki 9:26; 1Ki 22:48; Ezion-geber. 2Ch 20:36
