1 Kings 10:23-29

231So King Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom. 24All the earth was seeking the presence of Solomon, 2to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart. 253They brought every man his gift, articles of silver and gold, garments, weapons, spices, horses, and mules, so much year by year.

264Now Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; and he had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen, and he 5stationed them in the 6chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem. 277The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem, and he made cedars as plentiful as sycamore trees that are in the 8lowland. 289Also Solomon’s import of horses was from Egypt and Kue, and the king’s merchants procured them from Kue for a price. 29A chariot 10was imported from Egypt for 600 shekels of silver, and a horse for 150; and 11by the same means they exported them 12to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of the Arameans.
