1 Kings 10:11,12

The navy of Hiram brought great plenty of almug-trees It is very uncertain what these almug-trees were, or algum-trees, as they are termed 2 Chronicles 2:8, by a transposition of letters. Dr. Waterland renders the expression gum-trees, and Houbigant ligna citra, citron-wood. But Dr. Castell thinks it was the wood called sanctulum, which is proper for all the uses mentioned in the next verse, and is still in India. The king made of the almug-trees pillars for the house There is nothing said from whence we can form any conjecture what is meant by these pillars or props, or how or where they were applied.
