1 Kings 10:11-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 Hiram’s fleet, which used to bring gold from Ophir, also brought from there a very large quantity of almug[a] wood and precious stones. 12 With this wood the king made supports for the house of the Lord and for the house of the king, and harps and lyres for the singers. Never again was any such almug wood brought or seen to the present day.
