There are many fictional or speculative accounts of the location of King Solomon's mines, a venue which has been lost since the scuttling of Jehoshaphat's fleet. The location has remained hidden, though probably not because the gold supply had played out or the technology had not been developed to extract the remaining quantities. The most likely reason for its perpetual mystery is that God has purposed to preserve this enormous quantity of gold to provide exquisite garments for the Bride of Christ.
