sent in the navy] The navy was Solomons, and the ships thereof made by his appointment. Where it is said (2 Chron. 8. 18.) that Hiram sent Solomon, by the hands of his servants, ships, the meaning is, that Hiram conducted or guided Solomons ships, by the skill and industry of his servants. For the word translated, sent, signifieth also to conduct, guide, or bring on the way, Genesis 18:16.
