2 Chronicles 1:15-17
15The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.1
16Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue;2 the royal merchants purchased them from Kue. 17A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver,3 and a horse for a hundred and fifty.4 Likewise, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram.
