For
the king had ships that went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram; once every
three years came the ships of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and
apes, and peacocks.

The
Peacock is indigenous to India. It was brought to King Solomon by his ships
from Tarshish which in this case was probably a
district on the Malabar coast of India, or in Ceylon.
Thanks
for visiting and also to all who leave comments.
I nevr knew where Tarshish was. The royals would not be happy with Solomon importing ivory.

Incredible beauty!!!
ReplyDeleteHello Margaret, beautiful Peacock! Enjoy your day and the new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing my namesake this morning.
ReplyDeleteMy Peacock ancestry is from Scotland . . .
I do remember on one of our Ireland trips when we were driving in the West, in the Ring of Beara, we saw many, many Peacocks in the hills . . . Roaming freely like Robins and Finches do here.
It is a beautuful bird, the whites are pretty too . . . sometimes fiesty and sassy . . .
Happy days Margaret . . .
Gorgeous peacock! Love their coloured feathers!
