2 Chronicles 20:34-36
Evangelical Heritage Version
34 The rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, from first to last, are recorded in the annals of Jehu son of Hanani, which are included in the Book of the Kings of Israel.
35 After this, Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did wicked things. 36 He joined with him to build ships to go to Tarshish.[a] They built the ships in Ezion Geber.

- 2 Chronicles 20:36 The references to Tarshish in verses 36 and 37 are puzzling since in other passages Tarshish is a location on the Mediterranean Sea. These ships, however, are sailing on the Red Sea to Ophir (1 Kings 22:49). Perhaps they are the kind of ships that went to Tarshish, or there is an otherwise unknown Tarshish on the Red Sea.
