For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
Then Eli-e´zer the son of Do´davah of Mare´shah prophesied against Jehosh´aphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahazi´ah, the Lord hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: every three years once came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
