Tempat
Tarsis
Nama sebuah tempat yang pertama kali dikenal pada zaman Salomo. Pertanyaan mengenai lokasi Tarsis menimbulkan banyak perdebatan. Beberapa orang mengira ada Tarsis di Timur, di pantai India, mengingat bahwa “kapal-kapal Tarsis” berlayar dari Ezion-Geber, di Laut Merah (1 Raja-raja 9:26; 22:48; 2 Tawarikh 9:21). Ada pula yang berpendapat bahwa Kartago adalah tempat yang dimaksud. Namun, hampir tidak diragukan lagi bahwa ini adalah nama pelabuhan Fenisia di Spanyol, di antara dua muara Sungai Guadalquivir (nama yang diberikan orang Arab untuk sungai tersebut, yang berarti “wadi besar” atau jalur air). Kota ini didirikan oleh koloni Kartago, dan merupakan pelabuhan paling barat bagi para pelaut Tirus. Ke pelabuhan inilah kapal Yunus hendak berlayar dari Yafo. Tempat ini tepat digelari “Peru-nya petualangan orang Tirus”; daerah ini kaya akan tambang emas dan perak.
Tampaknya nama ini juga digunakan tanpa merujuk pada lokasi tertentu. “Kapal-kapal Tarsis” adalah ungkapan yang kadang-kadang hanya menunjukkan kapal-kapal yang ditujukan untuk perjalanan jauh (Yesaya 23:1, 14), kapal-kapal berukuran besar (kapal samudera), ke pelabuhan mana pun mereka berlayar. Kapal-kapal Salomo disebut demikian (1 Raja-raja 10:22; 22:49).
