Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
22:48-49 Jehoshaphat built this fleet of trading ships in alliance with Ahaziah (see 2 Chr 20:35-37). Like Solomon, the two kings planned to send a fleet to Ophir in search of gold (1 Kgs 9:27-28; 10:11). The venture was ill-fated; to fulfill a prophetic warning (2 Chr 20:37), the Lord destroyed the fleet before it left port. Jehoshaphat wisely did not become entangled with Ahaziah a second time. • Ezion-geber was Solomon’s port city on the Gulf of Aqaba (1 Kgs 9:26).
