And King Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber,.... Which was one of the stations of the Israelites, near the wilderness of Sin, or Paran, Num 33:35, it signifies the backbone of a man; and it is said (w) the ridge of rocks before this port were in that form, covered by the sea at high water, and sticking up with various points in a line when it was low. Josephus says (x) in his time it was called Berenice, which is placed by Mela (y) between the Heroopolitic bay, and the promontory Strobilus, or Pharan. It is thought probable (z) to be the same with that which is called by the Arabs Meenah-el-Dsahab, the port of gold, called Dizahab, Deu 1:1, which stands upon the shore of the Arabic gulf, about two or three days' distance from Mount Sinai; though by others (a) thought to be the same the Arabs call Calzem, where was a great quantity of wood fit for building ships. It is further described,
which is beside Elath, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom; and when Edom was subdued by David, this port fell into his hands, and so was in the possession of Solomon; and there being plenty of timber in the parts adjacent, and this being a port in the Red sea, Solomon chose it as proper place to build ships in. Elath, near to which was, is the same the Elanitic bay had its name from; or which See Gill on Deu 2:8. Trajan, the Roman emperor, formed a navy in the Red sea (b), that by it he might ravage and waste the borders of India; and here it seems Solomon's navy went; see Kg1 9:28.

Compare the marginal reference. Solomon was not satisfied that Pharaoh’s daughter should remain in the palace of David, which was on Mount Zion, in the immediate vicinity of the temple, because he regarded the whole vicinity of the temple as made holy by the presence of the ark of God. His own palace was on the other (western) hill, probably directly opposite to the temple, the valley of the Tyropoeum running between them.

24. Pharaoh’s daughter… out of the city of David — Hence it is clear that Solomon’s palace was not in the city of David, or on Zion, but (as we have argued in note introductory to chap. vii) on the same mountain as the temple, but at a lower elevation. Her transfer to her new abode is spoken of, like that of the ark and the tabernacle, as a going up. See note on 1Ki_8:4.
Unto her house — A department of his own new palace. See on 1Ki_7:8.

The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain But lit. only. Keil rightly connects the word with…
But lit. only. Keil rightly connects the word with za below. "So soon as.. then." Cf. Gen_27:30. This and ver. 25 are not interposed arbitrarily, as might at first sight appear, but refer to 1Ki_3:1-4. The completion of the palaces rendered it no longer necessary or proper that Solomon"s daughter should dwell in a separate house. The chronicler tells us that she had dwelt in David"s palace on Mount Zion, and that Solomon was constrained to remove her, because he looked upon all the precinct as now consecrated (2Ch_8:11) Pharaoh"s daughter came up htl Keil hence argues that the palace stood on higher ground than David"s house. But this conclusion is somewhat precarious. The approach to the palace involved an ascent, but Zion was certainly as high as Ophel out of the city of David unto her house which Solomon Heb. he had built for her: then did he build Millo. Thenius infers from these words that Mille was a fort or castle for the protection of the harem. But there is no warrant for any such conjecture. In the first place, this wife would seem to have been lodged in her own palace apart from the other wives.
1. We can offer a better explanation of the word Mille (see ver. 15).

2. The word "then" may mean either
(1), that when her palace was completed, Solomon then had workmen who were liberated and were employed on Mille (Keil), or
(2), that when she vacated David"s house, the building of Mille could be proceeded with.

9:24 The new palace Solomon built for . . . Pharaoh’s daughter was separate from Solomon’s own residence because his palace was deemed holy, “for the Ark of the Lord has been there” (2 Chr 8:11). The place where the Ark resided was considered sacred, since it embodied God’s presence and sanctified its surroundings (Exod 25:22; see also 2 Sam 6:7; 1 Chr 15:11-13).
