וַיִּֽשְׁלַֽח־ לוֹ֩ חוּרָ֨ם בְּיַד־ עֲבָדָ֜יו אוֹנִיּוֹת וַעֲבָדִים֮ י֣וֹדְעֵי יָם֒ וַיָּבֹ֜אוּ עִם־ עַבְדֵ֤י שְׁלֹמֹה֙ אוֹפִ֔ירָה וַיִּקְח֣וּ מִשָּׁ֔ם אַרְבַּע־ מֵא֥וֹת וַחֲמִשִּׁ֖ים כִּכַּ֣ר זָהָ֑ב וַיָּבִ֖יאוּ אֶל־ הַמֶּ֥לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹֽה׃פ
So Hiram sent him ships captained by his servants, along with crews of experienced sailors. They went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir and acquired from there 450 talents of gold (note: 450 talents is approximately 17 tons or 15.4 metric tons of gold.), which they delivered to King Solomon.
