Palmyra attained the height of its splendour when the royal city of Zenobia was conquered by the emperor Aurelian; became a Roman colony after the victories of Trajan; and was probably reduced to its present miserable state in the wars of the Saracens. Its magnificent ruins, however, scattered over an extent of several miles, sufficiently attest its former splendour and riches.Reciprocal9:18 - Tadmor; 2 Kings 14:28 - Damascus; 2 Chronicles 8:6 - the store cities Verse 5BethhoronJoshua 16:3, 16:5; 1 Chronicles 7:24Reciprocal1 Samuel 13:18 - Bethhoron; 2 Chronicles 25:13 - Bethhoron Verse 6BaalathJoshua 19:44; 1 Kings 9:18 the store cities2 Chronicles 8:4, 17:12; 1 Kings 9:19 chariot cities2 Chronicles 1:14; 1 Kings 10:26 all that Solomon desired to buildHeb. all the desire of Solomon which he desired to build, 9:19; Ecclesiastes 2:4, 10-26 and in Lebanon1 Kings 7:2; Song of Songs 4:8Reciprocal2 Chronicles 16:4 - the store cities; Song of Songs 7:4 - the tower Verse 7As for all1 Kings 9:20-22 the HittitesGenesis 15:19-21; Deuteronomy 7:1ReciprocalGenesis 9:25 - a servant; Joshua 17:13 - put the; 1 Kings 5:15 - threescore; 9:17 - Bethhoron; 1 Chronicles 22:2 - the strangers; 2 Chronicles 2:17 - numbered Verse 8whom the childrenJudges 1:21-36; Psalm 106:34 to pay2 Chronicles 2:17, 2:18; Joshua 16:10, 17:13; 1 Kings 5:13, 5:14ReciprocalGenesis 9:25 - a servant; 1 Kings 9:20 - left; 1 Chronicles 22:2 - the strangers Verse 9But of theExodus 19:5, 19:6; Leviticus 25:39-46; Galatians 4:26, 4:31 they were men1 Samuel 8:11, 8:12Reciprocal1 Kings 9:22 - but they were men Verse 10two hundred2 Chronicles 2:18; 1 Kings 5:16, 9:23Reciprocal9:22 - but they were men; 2 Chronicles 34:13 - the bearers Verse 11brought up1 Kings 3:1, 7:8, 9:24 holyHeb. holiness, Exodus 3:5, 29:43; Ezekiel 21:2; 2 Peter 1:18ReciprocalExodus 25:10 - an ark; 1 Chronicles 4:18 - Bithiah; 2 Chronicles 35:3 - Put; Ecclesiastes 2:4 - I builded Verse 12on the altar2 Chronicles 4:1; 1 Chronicles 28:17; Ezekiel 8:16; Joel 2:17 before the porchJohn 10:23Reciprocal1 Kings 9:25 - three times; 9:26 - made a navy; 2 Chronicles 15:8 - the altar of the Lord; Ezekiel 45:17 - the prince's; Malachi 3:4 - as Verse 13every dayExodus 29:38-42; Leviticus 23:1-17; Numbers 28:1-29:40; Ezekiel 45:17, 46:3-15 three timesExodus 23:14-17; Deuteronomy 16:16; 1 Kings 9:25ReciprocalGenesis 45:21 - commandment; Deuteronomy 16:9 - General; 16:13 - the feast; 2 Chronicles 11:17 - three years; Nehemiah 8:17 - had not; Psalm 81:3 - solemn; Zechariah 14:16 - and to Verse 14the courses2 Chronicles 5:11, 23:4, 31:2; 1 Chronicles 24:1-19; Luke 1:5, 1:8 the Levites2 Chronicles 35:10; 1 Chronicles 6:31, 6:32-48, 15:16-22, 16:4-6, 16:42, 23:1-32, 24:20-31; 25:1-31; Ezra 6:18 the porters1 Chronicles 9:17, 26:1-19 so had David the man of God commandedHeb. so was the commandment of David the man of God, Deuteronomy 33:1; 2 Samuel 23:2; 1 Kings 13:1; 1 Chronicles 28:19; Acts 13:22, 13:36Reciprocal2 Kings 22:4 - the keepers; 1 Chronicles 16:37 - as every; 23:5 - porters; 23:6 - divided; 26:17 - Eastward; 2 Chronicles 11:2 - the man; 29:25 - according; 34:13 - porters; 35:4 - and according; Nehemiah 12:24 - the man; 12:36 - musical instruments; Isaiah 62:6 - set watchmen; Jeremiah 35:4 - a man; 1 Timothy 6:11 - O man; 2 Peter 1:21 - in old time Verse 15they departed2 Chronicles 30:12; Exodus 39:42, 39:43 the treasures1 Kings 7:51; 1 Chronicles 9:29, 26:20-26

Grotius conjectures it to be a part of Arabia called Aphar by Arrian; while Bochart and others have placed it in the island of Ceylon. Calmet supposes it to have been situated in Armenia; but his late editor places it at the head of the Indus. Josephus says that Ophir is the Indies, called the Gold country; by which he is supposed to mean Chersonesus Aurea, now Malacca, opposite Sumatra; and Lev. Poivre observes that the inhabitants of these places call their gold mines ophirs. took thenceEcclesiastes 2:8Reciprocal1 Kings 10:11 - from Ophir
