t2Chron 9:13 Solomon's revenue in gold, and the use he made of it. Cf. Kg1 10:14-22, and the commentary there on this section, which is identical in both narratives, with the exception of some trifling differences. Before מביאים והסּחרים the relative pronoun is to be supplied: "and what the merchants brought." As to the derivation of the word פּחות, which comes from the Aramaic form פּחה, governor (Ch2 9:14), see on Hag 1:1. - תּרשׁישׁ הלכות אניּות, in Ch2 9:21, ships going to Tarshish, is an erroneous paraphrase of תּרשׁישׁ אניּות, Tarshish-ships, i.e., ships built for long sea voyages; for the fleet did not go to Tartessus in Spain, but to Ophir in Southern Arabia (see on Kg1 9:26.). All the rest has been explained in the commentary on 1 Kings 10. 2 Chronicles 9:22
