Commentary
Commentary on 1 Kings 10:12
Theological / DevotionalAlmug trees. Called “algum trees” in 2 Chron. 9:10. What kind of wood was here referred to is a matter of uncertainty. No such tree as the almug or algum is known. Many think it refers to the sandalwood.
Pillars. Heb. mis‘ad, literally “supports.” The parallel passage in 2 Chron. 9:11 has mesilloth, the same word that is translated “highway” in Judges 20:31; 1 Sam. 6:12; Isa. 40:3. Such a meaning is quite unlikely here, and it is probable that the word should be read mis‘ad, as in Kings.
