Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
Almug-treenoun
A tree mentioned in scripture.
Of its wood were made musical instruments, and it was used also in rails, or in a staircase. The Rabbins generally render it coral, others ebony, brazil, or pine. In the Septuagint it is translated wrought wood, and in the Vulgate, Ligna Thyina. But coral could never answer the purposes of the almugim; the pine-tree is too common in Judea to be imported from Ophir; and the Thyinum, or citron-tree, much esteemed by the ancients for its fragrance and beauty, came from Mauritania. By the wood almugim, or algumim, or, simply, gummim, taking al for a kind of article, may be understood oily and gummy sorts of wood, and particularly the trees which produce gum ammoniac, or gum arabick; and is, perhaps, the same with the Shittim wood mentioned by Moses. Augustin Calmet.
And the navy also of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug-trees and precious trees. 1 Kings, x. 11.
