In 1 Kings Chapter 9 This time God doesn’t appear in a dream as far as we know. But this seems more of a warning than before. It's almost a promise of punishment. God promises to preserve if Solomon obeys, but also promises to destroy this magnificent temple if they don’t.
God has no loyalty to a building, even if it is the most fabulous thing on earth. Cabul means “good for nothing.” This is a different language to the modern city of Kabul in Afghanistan. Ezion Geber is the modern city of Eilat, a great scuba diving destination, and the confluence of Egypt, Jordan and Israel all at one point.
Ophir isn’t known, but many think it was India. And given that in the next chapter it says they brought back peacocks etc from there, it seems like an asian location.
