Context of 2 Chronicles 9:26

24Every year, people who came to visit Solomon brought him gifts. They brought things that were made from silver and gold, as well as clothes, weapons, spices, horses and mules. 25Solomon had places to keep 4,000 horses that pulled his chariots. He also had 12,000 horses. He kept them in the cities that he had chosen for this and also in Jerusalem where he lived. He ruled over all the kings around Israel, from the Euphrates river as far as the Philistines' country and the border of Egypt. 27While Solomon ruled as king, there was as much silver in Jerusalem as stones! There was as much wood from cedar trees as there were fig trees that grew in the low hills in the west. 28People brought horses to Solomon from Egypt and from all the other countries.
