From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Ibhar
      chosen, one of David's sons (1 Chr. 3:6; 2 Sam. 5:15).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Ivory
      (Heb. pl. shenhabbim, the "tusks of elephants") was early used
      in decorations by the Egyptians, and a great trade in it was
      carried on by the Assyrians (Ezek. 27:6; Rev. 18:12). It was
      used by the Phoenicians to ornament the box-wood rowing-benches
      of their galleys, and Hiram's skilled workmen made Solomon's
      throne of ivory (1 Kings 10:18). It was brought by the caravans
      of Dedan (Isa. 21:13), and from the East Indies by the navy of
      Tarshish (1 Kings 10:22). Many specimens of ancient Egyptian and
      Assyrian ivory-work have been preserved. The word _habbim_ is
      derived from the Sanscrit _ibhas_, meaning "elephant," preceded
      by the Hebrew article (ha); and hence it is argued that Ophir,
      from which it and the other articles mentioned in 1 Kings 10:22
      were brought, was in India.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
