From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Merchant
      The Hebrew word so rendered is from a root meaning "to travel
      about," "to migrate," and hence "a traveller." In the East, in
      ancient times, merchants travelled about with their merchandise
      from place to place (Gen. 37:25; Job 6:18), and carried on their
      trade mainly by bartering (Gen. 37:28; 39:1). After the Hebrews
      became settled in Palestine they began to engage in commercial
      pursuits, which gradually expanded (49:13; Deut. 33:18; Judg.
      5:17), till in the time of Solomon they are found in the chief
      marts of the world (1 Kings 9:26; 10:11, 26, 28; 22:48; 2 Chr.
      1:16; 9:10, 21). After Solomon's time their trade with foreign
      nations began to decline. After the Exile it again expanded into
      wider foreign relations, because now the Jews were scattered in
      many lands.
