Peacocks

→ Arabic language: طاووس.

(Heb. tuccyyim). Among the natural products which Solomon's fleet brought home to Jerusalem, mention is made of "peacocks," (1 Kings 10:22; 2 Chronicles 9:21) which is probably the correct translation. The Hebrew word may be traced to the Talmud or Malabaric togei, "peacock."
