¹³ So Solomon went to Jerusalem from^[a] the high place that was in Gibeon in front of the tent of meeting, and he reigned over Israel.

Solomon’s Horses and Wealth

¹⁴ Solomon^(A) accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen,^(B) which he stationed in the chariot cities^(C) and with the king in Jerusalem. ¹⁵ The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedar as abundant as sycamore in the Judean foothills. ¹⁶ Solomon’s horses came from Egypt and Kue.^[b] The king’s traders would get them from Kue at the going price. ¹⁷ A chariot could be imported from Egypt for fifteen pounds^[c] of silver and a horse for nearly four pounds.^[d] In the same way, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram through their agents.
