AL'MUG TREES , 1 Kgs 10:11, AL'GUM TREES, 2 Chr 2:8; 2 Chr 9: 10, 11. Two forms of the same word. A precious wood used for musical instruments or cabinet-work. Being ordered by Solomon, it was brought from Ophir to Tyre, and thence with cedar of Lebanon to Jerusalem. As to what almug-wood was there are many theories, but some of the best authorities believe it to have been the red sandalwood of India.
