<p> <strong> [[Almug]] </strong> , or <strong> [[Algum]] </strong> ( 1 Kings 10:11-12 , 2 Chronicles 2:8; 2 Chronicles 9:10-11; the two names are probably variants of the same word, caused by transposition of letters, as is common in Heb. and Arabic). This tree was imported by [[Solomon]] from [[Ophir]] ( 1 Kings 10:11-12 ) and from [[Lebanon]] ( 2 Chronicles 2:8 ) for staircases, balustrades, and musical instruments. There is nothing certain known of the nature of this wood, but as [[Jewish]] tradition states that it was a red wood, red sandal wood ( <em> Pterocarpus santalinus </em> ) now used chiefly for its colouring properties has been very generally accepted. </p> <p> | <p> <strong> [[Almug]] </strong> , or <strong> [[Algum]] </strong> ( 1 Kings 10:11-12 , 2 Chronicles 2:8; 2 Chronicles 9:10-11; the two names are probably variants of the same word, caused by transposition of letters, as is common in Heb. and Arabic).
