He blessed God May the kings of Tarshish and of distant shores bring tribute to him May the kings of Tarshish The mention of "Tarshish" evokes a sense of distant lands and wealth, as Tarshish was a well-known maritime trading partner in the ancient world, often associated with wealth and exotic goods. The Hebrew root for Tarshish is often linked to the idea of a "smelting plant" or "refinery," suggesting a place of production and abundance. In a biblical context, Tarshish is frequently mentioned in connection with Solomon's extensive trade network (1 Kings 10:22). The invocation of "kings" here symbolizes the recognition of authority and power, suggesting that even the most distant and powerful rulers will acknowledge the sovereignty of the messianic king, a foreshadowing of the universal reign of Christ. and of distant shores bring tribute to him Bring presents.--Literally, return presents, but not in the sense of an interchange of royal gifts (as 1Kings 10:13) but of "payment of tribute."

Sheba.--The Joktanic kingdom, embracing the greater part of Yemen or Arabia Felix, and so here representing Arabia, (the LXX. and Vulg. have "kings of Arabians") while "Seba" (or "Saba"), which was Cushite, and was by Josephus (A.

Verse 10. - The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents. "Tarshish" here is probably Tartessus in Spain, so well known to the Israelites in the days of Solomon (1 Kings 10:22; 2 Chronicles 9:21). According to Herodotus, Tartessus, when it first became known to the Greeks, was governed by kings (Herod., 1:163). By "the isles" are to be understood the coasts and islands of the Mediterranean generally. All these have, at one time or another, paid homage to Christ. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. "Sheba" and "Seba" are distinguished by the writer of Genesis (Genesis 10:7), and appear not even to have been very near the one to the other. Sheba was in Southeastern Arabia, and was known to the Greeks and Romans as the country of the Sabaeans (Diod. Sic., 3:45; Strabo, 16:4, § 19; Pliny, 'Hist. Nat.,' 6:23). Saba was in Africa, on the Middle Nile, and the Sebaeans (סְבָאִים) are closely connected by Isaiah with Ethiopia and Egypt (Isaiah 43:3; Isaiah 45:14).Parallel Commentaries ...
