1 Kings 10:26-29
26Solomon accumulated1 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses,2 which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem. 27The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.3
28Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue;4 the royal merchants purchased them from Kue. 29A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver,5 and a horse for a hundred and fifty.6 Likewise, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram.
