Context of 2 Chronicles 1:15

13Then Solomon came back [from] the high place at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tent of meeting, and reigned over Israel. 14And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; and he had a thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen; and he placed them in the chariot-cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. And the king made silver and gold in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he as the sycamores that are in the lowland for abundance. 16And the exportation of horses that Solomon had was from Egypt: a caravan of the king's merchants fetched a drove [of horses], at a price. 17And they fetched up and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so they brought [them] by their means, for all the kings of the Hittites and for the kings of Syria.

• 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
