Thoughts And Things Of The Bible -- Ape
An animal of the monkey tribe (1 Kings 10:22; 2 Chr. 9:21). It was
brought from India by the fleets of Solomon and Hiram, and was called by
the Hebrews koph , and by the Greeks kepos , both words being just the
Indian Tamil name of the monkey, kapi, i.e., swift, nimble, active. No
species of ape has ever been found in Palestine or the adjacent regions.
