Context of 2 Chronicles 1:15
13So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting, unto Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel. 14And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. And the king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore-trees that are in the lowland, for abundance. 16And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; the king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price. 17And they fetched up and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 14-17The description of Solomon’s wealth and power (detailed in 2 Chronicles 9:25–28) is based on the summary of his kingdom in 1 Kings 10:26–29. In Kings, this summary of Solomon’s wealth led to the negative aspects of his rule (1 Kings 11). Here, Solomon’s gathering of wealth demonstrated the fulfillment of God’s promise (2 Chronicles 1:12).Read the comment
