Contradiction with 2 Chronicles 9:11
While 1 Kings 10:12 states the almug trees were used for railings and instruments, 2 Chronicles 9:11 similarly mentions their use without contradiction.
2 Chronicles 9:11: And the king made [of] the algum trees terraces to the house of the LORD, and to the king's palace, and harps and psalteries for singers: and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah. [terraces: or, stairs: Heb. highways]
