About Elephant
Although the first definite reference to elephants in the Bible is in the Greek deuterocanonical book of 1 Maccabees, ivory (literally “tooth") is mentioned first in the time of Solomon. By this date there were already ivory trade routes from the Sudan down the Nile and by sea from where Djibouti is now on the African Red Sea coast to where Eilat is now on the Gulf of Aqaba. Some of the ivory may have been made from the teeth of the hippopotamus but two references, 1KI 10:22 and 2CH 9:21, specifically refer to elephant ivory (literally “elephant’s tooth"). Ivory was probably known even much earlier than this since ornaments dating from around 2300 B.C. have been found in Palestine.
