2 Chronicles 20:36-37
Evangelical Heritage Version
36 He joined with him to build ships to go to Tarshish.[a] They built the ships in Ezion Geber. 37 Eliezer son of Dodavahu from Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat: “Because you joined with Ahaziah, the Lord has destroyed what you have made.” The ships were wrecked, so they were not able to go to Tarshish.

- 2 Chronicles 20:36 The references to Tarshish in verses 36 and 37 are puzzling since in other passages Tarshish is a location on the Mediterranean Sea. These ships, however, are sailing on the Red Sea to Ophir (1 Kings 22:49). Perhaps they are the kind of ships that went to Tarshish, or there is an otherwise unknown Tarshish on the Red Sea.
