Almug Trees, 1 Kings 10:11; or Algum Trees. 2 Chronicles 2:8. Two forms of the same word. One of the kinds of timber which Solomon ordered from Tyre for the building of the temple. Jewish historians describe it as a fine, white, glossy wood, and it was used for musical instruments, and the ornamental work of the temple. Sandal wood answers best to the description in the passage cited. Dr. Shaw supposes it to have been what we call the cypress, which is still used for harpsichords ana other stringed instruments.
