²⁶ Into great waters have they brought thee, Those rowing thee, The east wind hath broken thee in the heart of the seas.

²² for a navy of Tarshish hath the king at sea with a navy of Hiram; once in three years cometh the navy of Tarshish, bearing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

¹⁶ And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures.
