Bible Verses About Commerce: Carried on by means of ships

Hiram sent some of his own servants, experienced sailors who understood the sea, to serve with Shlomo's servants.

They went to Ofir and took from there gold, fourteen tons of it, which they brought back to King Shlomo.

Those who go down to the sea in ships, plying their trade on the great ocean,

saw the works of ADONAI, his wonders in the deep.

For at his word the storm-wind arose, lifting up towering waves.

The sailors were raised up to the sky, then plunged into the depths. At the danger, their courage failed them,

they reeled and staggered like drunk men, and all their skill was swallowed up.

In their trouble they cried to ADONAI, and he rescued them from their distress.

He silenced the storm and stilled its waves,

and they rejoiced as the sea grew calm. Then he brought them safely to their desired port.
