Solomon offered sacrifices to the LORD on the altar which he had built in front of the Temple.

Then Solomon went to Eziongeber and Elath, ports on the shore of the Gulf of Aqaba, in the land of Edom.

King Jehoshaphat had ocean-going ships built to sail to the land of Ophir for gold; but they were wrecked at Eziongeber and never sailed.

Uzziah reconquered and rebuilt Elath after his father's death.
