Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for תֻּכִּי (tukki) as it is a specific term related to Hebrew texts and the cultural context of the Old Testament. However, the concept of exotic and luxurious items can be found in various Greek terms related to wealth and opulence in the New Testament.

Usage: The term תֻּכִּי (tukki) is used in the context of describing an exotic bird, specifically identified as a peacock, which was imported and considered a symbol of wealth and splendor in ancient times.

Context: The Hebrew word תֻּכִּי (tukki) appears in the context of the wealth and opulence of King Solomon's reign. It is mentioned in the list of goods brought to Solomon by his fleet of ships. The peacock, known for its vibrant plumage and majestic appearance, was likely imported from distant lands, possibly from regions such as India, where peacocks are native. The inclusion of peacocks among the treasures of Solomon underscores the king's extensive trade networks and the luxurious nature of his court.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is found in the following passages:

• 1 Kings 10:22 (BSB): "For the king had the ships of Tarshish at sea with the fleet of Hiram. Once every three years, the ships of Tarshish would arrive bearing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks."

• 2 Chronicles 9:21 (BSB): "For the king’s ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram. Once every three years, they would return, bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks."

These passages highlight the grandeur and international connections of Solomon's kingdom, with peacocks serving as a symbol of the exotic and luxurious imports that adorned his court.
