Algum or Almug Trees. Algum. Occurring in 2 Chronicles 2:8; 2 Chronicles 9:10-11 and Almug Trees appearing in 1 Kings 10:11-12. These words are identical. From 1 Kings 10:11-12; 2 Chronicles 9:10-11, we learn that the almug was brought in great plenty from Ophir for Solomon's Temple and house, and for the construction of musical instruments.
It is probable that this tree is the red sandal wood, which is a native of India and Ceylon. The wood is very heavy, hard and fine grained, and of a beautiful garnet color.
