OPHIR.

Land of Solomon‘s gold, located somewhere between India and north central Africa. The Biblical account tells that King Solomon’s ships left for Ophir from Ezion Geber on the Red Sea every three years, together with the ships of Phoenician King Hiram. The ships came home laden with gold and silver, peacocks, ivory, and apes (I Kings 9:28; 10:11).
