Places
Tarshish in 2 Chronicles 20
TAR-shish
This place shows up in 2 Chronicles 20:36: “He joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish. They made the ships in Ezion Geber.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
2 Chronicles 20:36
“He joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish. They made the ships in Ezion Geber.”

When you hear tarshish in 2 Chronicles, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read 2 Chronicles 20:36 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
