Places
Zion in 1 Kings 9
ZY-un
This place shows up in 1 Kings 9:26: “King Solomon made a fleet of ships in Ezion Geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
1 Kings 9:26
“King Solomon made a fleet of ships in Ezion Geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.”
